Hit me up with some links to new Irish punk bands doing the rounds. I'm more into the likes of Oi!, anarcho and post punk than noisy hardcore, but let me know who is worth checking out. I haven't kept an eye on the local scene in a few years and imagine there must be a few good bands on the go.

I see some Sligo punk distro on the Promotions thread, well you probably saw it
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes



Speaking of Only Fumes..., this is from a couple of years back, no idea if they're still at it:

Cheers for all the tips people.

Punk more perhaps in ethics and how we operate than music but if you like Husker Du/Quicksand/the two Jaws (breaker and box), here's what I'm at nowadays. 4 songs 12" out on Jan 5th

We played with Yop earlier in the year funnily enough. Great band.

If Oi is your thing, Sympos from Waterford. They sound more classic 70s punk to me than anything but sure I don't understand/like Oi

Misery Hill sounds great man. Like something you might even hear on the radio like Kerbdog or a noisier Foo Fighters. Catchy gear.

Wtf is "Oi" lads? Heard the description for years but no idea other than the awful picture in my head of lads spitting on me. Am I wrong?

No that's not punk  :laugh:.

When it kicked in I'd swear a lad played me the demo of that a while back, might be imagining things but it was very familiar.

Oi is skinhead punk. Streetpunk. Pretty much simple and direct catchy sing along stuff.

"the lad" was probably your brother, he had a rough mix for a while.

Well fair play if that's the craic because I'd likely have heard half a song off a phone once and it was obviously catchy enough for me to remember it. Well done. Does sound like a successor to Kerbdog in places too, which is no bad thing
