'Howld yer Whist' - Scary Eire

Scary Éire were pioneers of hip hop in Ireland. They have toured with U2 (as did Marxman), and opened for acts such as Gang Starr, Beastie Boys (with whom they also toured Europe), House of Pain, and Public Enemy. They had a track ("Lost for Words") on the 1993 album Planet Rap from Tommy Boy. They recorded a debut album that included production from Howie B, Tricky, Cutmaster Swift, DJ Mek and Sam Scuttery-Eye; they were then dropped by Island Records, who kept the rights to the album but did not release it. In 1995 Scary Éire reappeared on London independent label 11 Records and released "Dole Q"/"That's No Good To Me" on 12". The former song is about their various encounters on dole day and the latter a rugged, frenzied cypher. In March 2007, the group released The Scary Era - a collection of songs from the pre-Celtic Tiger years which had been 16 years in the waiting. You can purchase 'The Scary Era' from their Myspace page;www.myspace.com...
