Limerick lads from Tooth/Giveamanakick/Golf

Really enjoying this, cheers. I have heard of Giveamanakick but never heard their music. Sweets remind me of someone but I can't put my finger on it. Defo hearing some Cure and a general shoegaze buzz... Alcest maybe? Jesu? My points of reference for this stuff are few, but it sounds great.

Hotel prices stopped me from heading to this. Same with Monkfest.

Absolutely fantastic session
Inhuman Nature killed it, but fucking hell if DME aren't lashing Stereo Nasty on to the WASP bill it's a crime.


Limerick.A great bunch of lads.

Spot on with The Cure. Did a Cure cover an all at their gig in December. Bit of Mogwai. Loads of 90s alt rock influence too...Helmet, Posies, Sugar etc

I'll have to punk up that LP at some point. It'll be frightening with postage but sure, nothing new there.

Yeah sweets were the first band I caught. Great start to the day. Tunes are catchy out. Once again a fucking great day out. Craic was 90 as usual. Stereo Nasty were deadly.

I think a small bit of My Bloody Valentine, Soundgarden and The Cure. They defo have a small grungy vibe. Was chatting to them after. Bang on sound lads. They have a new album in
the works. I'd say if its as good as the previous they'll go far.

Had a great time as usual at the Siege. Was great to catch up with so many heads but still didn't get to chat with half the people I spotted through the day! It was a long aul one but I managed to stick it out for the day.
Really enjoyed the Limerick bands early, WCIP, Sweets and 50 ft woman, but I'd be biased having friends in them. Thought the Death metal bands on the warehouse were deadly, Inhuman Nature, Vacuous especially. I Enjoyed Coscradh and Incessant though I get a bit worn out from the relentlessness of the more full on sonic blackened/DM stuff after a few songs. Stereo Nasty was a nice break from the heavier stuff and were a great band to have towards the end of the night, glad to see them back.
There was a few acts I caught that did nothing for me but the crowds for them were really big and people were enjoying them so it's more of a preference thing.
I would say that was up there for one of the busier Siege's. Was slow getting through those crowds with the amount of people there and anytime I went near the upstairs or Kasbah it was rammed. I think the staff did a stellar job. Didn't see any issues with security and I was never waiting long for a drink.

Nice to hear it was another success, couldn't make it this time (and will be out of the country for the next one as well as it happens)

Another absolute banger of a day at the Siege. Probably shouldn't have drank so much, it messes up the auld memory a bit!

Caught the last 2 songs from Incessant, great gear!

Coscradh were class, maybe some slight sound issues for the first part of the set, couldn't hear the guitar solos so well, but that was soon fixed and it then sounded great.

I'm not sure what happened until about 10:30, I may or may not have seen Vacuous....

Watched The Jobseekerz headline the Kasbah stage. They were some craic. They're not metal but the crowd was loving them and it was a class buzz up the front.

Horrenda were a great bunch of lads 👏

Quality day out as usual, the staff are great and thanks again to Bad Rep. Didn't see any hassle at all.
