Say hello, wave goodbye

The Hitchers take a final bow this week with the release of Liver, a nifty five-tracker which features '4.30…Two Down', 'I Can't Breath', 'The Urge To Kill', 'You Can Only Love Someone…' and the splatterfest title-cut.

For those who've never come across the Limerick punk poppers before, their drummer Niall Quinn was the original singer with the Cranberries, and the man who introduced Ferg, Mike and Noel to Dolores when he returned to The Hitchers fold.

Never one to let the grass grow under his feet, he's put together a new band, The Pennywhores, who'll be gigging soon. For more info log on to geocities.com/thepennywhores.
