Dublin band Bipolar Empire may well feel they are on the verge of something approaching a proper breakthrough what with recent events, from playing the London St. Patricks Day Festival in front of 20,000 people in Trafalgar Square to being confirmed at nearly half a dozen Irish festivals this summer from Oxegen to Vantastival.

But the real proof of the band's ascension to fully-fledged big deal will come with the release of debut album Feel That You Own It on April 29 with the album launch party happening the night before on Thursday April 28 at the Workman's Club. The album, which features the title-track single, is produced by Madonna & REM collaborator Pat McCarthy.

The launch at the Workman's takes place at 8pm with tickets going for €7. Meanwhile, if you haven't seen the Katie Taylor-starring video for the latest single, then do so below. And you can check out details of all the bands live dates at [link]www.bipolarempire.com[/link]
