Quote from: Trev on August 31, 2026, 03:46:11 PMDon't think it matters who's playing, they know it'll sell out with the event junkie crowd. Probably figure they can get an even bigger profit going with smaller bands

This is the main point for me, they can spin it as a positive promoting Irish bands but in reality they will pocket the wider profit because they know the Slane brand on it's own will sell tickets regardless. I guess spotify numbers shouldn't be the metric, it should be how many GAA jerseys per square metre  :laugh:

Thats always the knock on people who genuinely go against another irish band, but like theres just a level of fake here that turns my stomach, people around the local scenes outside of metal from 2012 onwards, band have had a stylist since day one, all stuff that sickens me
Play the Academy July 13th

You're right, bands need to build their fanbase and fame the old-fashioned way, by hacking popular bands Spotify accounts.

Second date added. More people can now pretend to like this band for clout.


Had to google that cos I aint got my finger on the pulse, no mo'.   :laugh:

Fair play to the lads, incredible achievement regardless. That being said, not enough of my cuppa right now to go much further than the few bigger tunes.

Not into them whatsoever but their popularity is undeniable. Fair play them.

Their tunes are pure scour to my ears and every photo I've ever seen of em they look like the backstreet boys in their peak 90s era. Its not entirely devoid of musical talent, just offensive to my particular tastes and preferences. But sure look it, fair play I suppose, I doubt im the target demographic.

I'm going to lash on one of their albums now and see how I get on, but the singer really, really gets on my tits with his, as mentioned above, exaggerated accent, and his pretence of being a pained and tortured artist... who still lives with his oul one! Just a total spoofer, and an utter goofball in my estimation. But maybe the music can win me over. Have they an instrumental album by any chance? 😬

No, sorry... I can't do it. I lasted ten seconds but his fucking voice is giving me hives. Jesus, it's unlistenable shite. Fuck off, you fucking crap hipster cunts. I don't wish this band success. They are an embarrassment... fucking appalling :vomit:

I'm going to listen to some real fucking tunes to cleanse my ears. Mystifier should do the trick. Man, that was painful going. I was ashamed in case the KGB happened to have bugged my gaff and heard me listening to it. Suicide pill stuff. Morto.
