I can’t believe the biggest open goal pun of all time was missed by everyone in the early posts with “I’m waiting for my Bam”

(I’m only asking for this because someone once told me “You look like a more butch version of Mark Feehilly. That’s not a bad thing.”)

That’s sounds like what happened with The Murder Capital down here in Cork.

Music Zone, the biggest independent shop here, promoted them heavily, even putting on their album launch in a venue in the city. Their clientele are generally in their 40s/50s so they were the perfect captive audience.

I’d say they didn’t sell a single LP in the other shops in town but the gig was totally sold out. Absolutely bizarre.

Exact same in Belfast. The in store tour essentially became a proper tour all round Ireland.
Same publicity company?

Sure, Idles got unexpectedly popular so now everyone is clamouring to find the next one (and I like Fontaines and Murder Capital)

That’s cool.
Nah if you like them that’s good.
Very clear they’ve got a hell of a publicity team. Not top tier Irish acts at all for me and find the shtick of both very obvious and irritating

Didn’t Fontaines DC support Idles on their tour behind the last album?

Starts seeing pattern in the hyperbole matrix

I’m enjoying that this has become the Irish tin foil hat thread.

do you reckon part of it is being Irish/Not Irish? Like you and @Kallgeese are too close? Like I’m sure you have other reasons for not liking them but we at least get a little bit of detachment which might help/change our context of them?

I like it.
The tin foil hats are celebratory hats.
Very telling all the Irish lads can see through the hype and pick out the fake as fuck accents and swagger.

I really hope this doesn’t happen because I have a good working relationship with Prescription :smiley:
