I am so happy they got nominated for a Grammy they deserve it. Also believe they are the first post punk band to ever get nominated for one also.

[@ClockwiseCat]

The Cure did. They got nominated for Bloodflowers.

[@warrogue1798]

I think we all know the Grammys are a crock of $hit (They usually go for what is most commercial, for example in 2016 when they snubbed Courtney Barnett for best new artist in favor of Meghan Trainor), but the nomination might at least get the band some good publicity.

[@omninuss6847]

[@drearynonsense203]

i saw them live back in 2019 for the dogrel album release back when they were still kinda small, ended up talking to them and got toms sticks he used!

[@pinnkkplaysdrums]

As a drummer myself, he is insanely underrated. Incredibly tight and at times can be extremely complex and fast (Chequeless Reckless, Liberty Belle) so yeah, just an amazingly talented guy.

[@davidburne9477]

First thing that struck me was the drumming. Seriously good.

If repetition is a hammer, lyrics are a nail. The band is very tight. The drummer is extremely gifted. With a live audience and some more lyrical nuance, they could be great. They strike me as being strident, but without heartfelt emotion, simply because of the songwriting deficit. What we need is visceral banality. This is kitch.

[@felixnagra2982]

great vid but would be handy to have captions most people don't speak irish

[@oneill765]

No one's speaking Irish here lad, look up the lyrics if ya want.

[@maxadkins3499]

I like the retro alternative sound a lot, but they need someone to sing. Talking to a mic gets tired after one song.

The music is very good but the lead singer isn't great, the vocals are flat and the lyrics are repetitive.
