From Irishrock.org, "Wonderful indie pop band formed in early 1989 by the three Finnegan brothers, evolving from an their earlier band called The Nobody’s. Another brother James Finnegan managed them and footed the bill for the recording and the first pressing of 250 copies of their debut single, released through Danceline Records. This single was famously championed by John Peel. It is more easily found as the UK pressing on Decoy. 17 year old singer Jilie McDonnell left the band shortly afterwards, replaced by Eileen Gogan. The band reformed in 2000 with a new singer Karen Cunningham."
I took notice of them as I thought it was amazing that a band that sounded this good could have such a young singer. I was only a couple of years older myself, at the time. Their stuff is hard to get now but I've got their singles compilation (Silly Songs for Cynical People) and Peel session (4 songs) which altogether make for a great 12 track album.

We will never forget you
This is a blog to hear many classic indie songs (usually first heard by me on the John Peel radio show) which passed by largely unknown. Some of the tracks have less than perfect sound quality as I transferred them from my old cassettes to the PC. I'll include any information I know about the bands and the songs. I will put some music on here again but it may not be that often. I intend to give you stuff that you can't get anywhere any more.

About Copyrights
Most of the songs here are more than 10 years old and didn't sell many copies when they were released. If you have an issue about whether they should be allowed to be downloaded, think about the fact that no money is being made from them here, they are linked to because I think they shouldn't have got lost in time and that people may be hearing them for the first time here.
However, if the song is being released in some way and you are currently earning revenue from this particular version then email me with proof and I'll remove it.
If you can't give me a good reason why they should be removed (and I'm talking ethically and morally here) then please just let them be.

Thanks! Great band. Any live shows would be very nice to hear.
You're welcome. I don't have anything else by them, though. Maybe someone else has a bootleg. If you do, let us know.
