Dark Room Notes

DRN started writing and rehearsing in the summer of 2006. Early sessions yielded demos which were sent out to some of the band’s favourite producers – when the calls started coming in the band new they had hit on the right formula. Choosing to work with acclaimed producers Flood (U2, Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey) and Tom Rixton (Elastica, The Chalets, Tom Vek) the band recorded the underground hit Love Like Nicotine which was released in Ireland in June 2007 to universal critical acclaim, rammed dancefloors and heavy alternative radio rotation.

I'll eat your face

I'll Eat Your Face is a two-man grinding party-pack from Cork city, Ireland. THE BOY handles the guitar and shouts while BARRYTRON hits the drums and does the count-ins before each song. Their influences are grounded mainly in beer, telly and a shared dislike of not having both to hand at all times. Songs are fast and mainly deal with fat women, wasps and various other abnormal spewage from the diseased brains of the two simpletons. Gigs in January with Evolution of a Sun, DJ Scotch Egg and Sylvan.
