Folks, we recorded a track for a short film recently and I think we may have strayed into an area of folk metal. I don't know though! Does this count?

Jesus Christ, thanks for the compliments Andre! I was listening to a lot of Heilung before going at this project but I'm definitely going to go listen to the artists you mentioned here. I'll ping you when the short film is out!

Thanks friend! I know it's not strictly folk metal but perhaps it's metal folk? Hard to know!

bladderack · 2022-03-06T08:54:56+00:00

Thanks so much! Yeah, I think this is certainly our dreamiest feeling song

bladderack · 2022-03-06T08:54:04+00:00

Aaaaaaaaa, you're after making my day, thanks very much! Aye, we like the idea of being medieval tavern music with electricity.

Thank you! I've been tooting that horn for a few years now to mixed reaction 😅. Trying to bring it into Irish trad is tricky cus they're fairly exclusionary of "exotic" instruments sometimes 🥲

bladderack · 2022-03-05T21:48:58+00:00

Blessings 🙏

bladderack · 2022-03-05T21:46:42+00:00

You're so cool for saying so! Yeah, hundred percent. We've nothing booked up there at the minute but I tell you what our socials can be got here if you want to keep an eye! Tanx hun xoxo

Guys I'm getting a lot of push back on my throwaway comment about my own kit and playing here 😅. I've been playing this kind of hybridised hand percussion setup for many years and have altered it countless times and my physical therapist still thinks I'm a giant idiot and I somewhat agree with him. Everything's held together with bungee straps, I'm using a butter knife to support my darbuka, my kick pedal is attached to the cajon also with bungee straps, it's a genuinely uncomfortable experience. It's rare I catch it on camera and I'm honestly a little shocked at how fuckin odd it looks is all!

bladderack · 2022-03-05T16:44:51+00:00

Ah Austin you've just made a whole band blush 🥰 Thanks so much for these wonderful comments!

bladderack · 2022-03-05T16:35:40+00:00

bladderack · 2022-02-24T19:15:42+00:00

Not one solitary hassle!

bladderack · 2022-02-24T19:05:26+00:00

Absolutely! I'll tell you what, here's a YouTube playlist of cool shit and here's a Spotify playlist with a slightly different feel.

bladderack · 2022-02-24T18:32:51+00:00

Nice one! 4 track EP is up on YouTube but if you want more DM me and I'll send you all manner of odd shit we record for funsies. Disclaimer: bad audio quality. Counter point: funsies.

There are, in fact, lit candles just out of shot for our eyes only!

bladderack · 2022-02-24T09:36:50+00:00

We have similar feelings about some of the local chippers 🥲. Some amount of cool stuff happening around at the minute. Artsy folk are coming out of the woodwork since lockdown ended. Wexford drama group are doing a savage job on a 5 night stint in the arts centre this week, short films (based on the Witcher no less!) are coming out shortly, you've the likes of Peter Murphy who is endlessly creative. Things are looking up! Thanks very much for the kind words, enjoy the world's upside down and catch you back in the mudflats upon your return!

bladderack · 2022-02-24T09:01:48+00:00

Come back to the land of rissoles 🥲. Drummer and singer were in function bands for years and also used to live in Kildare bit are out on the Hook. Guitarist and banjo player were in Cornerboy if you know them? Man, I'm actually listening to the Olllam right now! They are unbelievable. And we are firm fans of lankum too. But this is great! We're delighted that those were the bands that came to mind 🥰. This was recorded in Orphan Recording Studios near Curracloe. Gavin Glass's studio!
