Cardinals the Cork band and their debut album Maverick have everything I would want if I was 16 rather than 60. They're the kind of band you could fall in love with which let's face it is what you should be doing when you're 16. They have a nice mix of Pogues, Libertines and Fontanes D.C. Understand that you can't beat a little Catholic angst and guilt.
U2 are at the far end of the cultural pike now but I think sensed the value of all this went they set off too. And they understood too that you need Joyce and Yeats and the luck of the Irish, insociance, a bookshelf, a sense of where they came from, a tast for the hard stuff and a drop of mischief.
Here's mud in your eye and a bit of what you fancy for the weekend.. This is a rather beautiful set of songs in every respect
