Out On A Wire

Can’t say I’ve been too taken with these current golden boys of Irish rock, but this track is actually pretty respectable; not good enough to justify the hype in and of itself (and certainly not when taken in the context of their other material), but certainly the best thing they’ve yet put their name to. A trashy low-slung bassline, a riff that half-inches ‘Blister In The Sun’, and an enjoyably frenetic drum pattern – not altogether unpleasant, though I’m yet to be convinced that this is anything more than a stopped clock’s time of day.
