'Hats Off'

Originally released last year, the Dubliners’ Hats Off EP receives a re-release thanks to the lad’s recent Vicar Street support slot with The Frames. As a result, the EP captures the group at a point they’ve long since departed. The acoustic ‘Crashin Down’ and ‘My Fault’ may be fleshed out to a full band sound here, but it’s only on ‘(Jammin’ In) Room 5’ that the group sound like the more cohesive unit they’ve since become. An own-goal in some respects; TKO have better than this in their canon.
