“A self-proclaimed “frank take on the shambolic Irish Health Service”, ‘Mental Health’ is a potent and necessary first offering from the quartet. It’s something the video, which you can view below, taps into to and then some. This is vital music from a band we’re sure are destined for big things in 2019 and beyond.”
“Urgent. Brilliant. This fucking MATTERS.”
— Paul Mcloone
“the band are throwing down a marker and are ones to keep an eye on as 2019 unfolds. I'd imagine some manner of protective headgear could be advantageous at their live shows too.”
