Single: Ghost Robots - Under Fire



Ghost Robots - Under Fire


Info: We've seen a lot of quality music over the last two or three years consistently coming out of the usual suspect places like Cork, Belfast, Galway and there's a pattern emerging now from Waterford also. The latest of which comes courtesy of five-piece Ghost Robots, whose debut E.P., Sell It To Me, is due for release soon, in advance they have shared lead single, 'Under Fire' (above) as they commence work on their full debut album.

Sometimes you wonder do certain bands really need two guitarists, but with Ghost Robots you can acknowledge that sparring guitars work very well and build solid walls either side of the rapid percussion. This backdrop provides a steady and deliberate engine to lead-singer Michael Doyle's well-honed, almost nonchalant vocals. 'Under Fire' is a classic and punchy indie single which doffs it's cap to the likes of Kaiser Chiefs and Maximo Park in parts with the swagger you'd expect from Kasabian. It's three years since they released their debut E.P., and it now looks like Ghost Robots are in the zone coming up to their first full album release. Thee band have also just announced two Dublin dates, on the 26th of February at One The Rox on Coke Lane, Smithfield, and a midnight show in Whelan's on the 8th of April.
