Our mog friend Doombilly from Illicitizen has posted up a latest demo that's well worth a listen. I played it 3 times in a row, and it got better every time.
It's hard to fit their music into a category and this song, "Monstr0", has all the passion of the classic 60's Folk protest song, beefed up, with an element of Indie pop sensibility that draws my attention to The Verve's 90's Britpop. In fact if one listens closely, Doombilly's voice has a boyish Richard Ashcroft sound to it.
I like it a lot, particularly the lines, "I will steal your life, and come on to your wife,I disappeared your passport". The vitriol isn't haunting or threatening,it seems to represent a form of resignation to all the political, cultural and security mis-management that many of our friends across the pond feel right now.
Give it a listen, I'm sure you'll like it, and give a fellow Mogger our support.

Im pretty sure Bono and Phil Lynott did frequent the Roisin back in the day!! Its always been a real "hipster" place to go. It used to be a small little place which gave all the gigs there a real intimacy but now its all redone up so they could get bigger acts but still incredibly "hip"!!! hahah Not sure why I keep quoting "hip"
"Lend Me Your Face" is so catchy and incredibly funny!! Id like to post another song from them but I cant figure out how
! Ill keep you posted if and when i do!
