" “Dirty Epics are among the best of the new breed of Irish bands currently making waves. With just one single under their belts to date, clearly they have a long way to go. But in their front woman Sarah Jane Wai O’Flynn, they have a very special talent indeed. It’s not just that she has loads of sex appeal. She is driven, charismatic and impressively confident. And the band exhibit a spiky punk pop sensibility that promises hit singles to come. File under: watch this space….”Niall Stokes, Editor, Hotpress Magazine from “Tomorrow The World!”Hotpress Year Book 2007“Three men and one woman from Dublin whose debut, Straight in No Kissing (Universal), is a retro-revelation that recalls X-Ray Spex at their most aggressively horny. Pure pop-punk for wow people, and single "Way Too Pretty" is an instant come-on classic. ”- Marc Savlov, Austin Cronicle SXSW“If you like uncomplicated punk, then try Wicklow natives Dirty Epics on for size. Having garnered rave live reviews their much-awaited debut does exactly what it says on the tin… Think The Subways partying with The Kills- raunchy rebellion guaranteed to end in errant hook-ups and questionable bruising”
The Irish Times***“The winning combination of urgent drums and guitars as well as Sarah Jane Wai O’Flynn’s scattergun screech gets the pulse racing from the off… there’s plenty of evidence here to suggest that they may have a bright future ahead.”
The Irish Independent***“Their schtick (scuzzy, rock ‘n’ roll brevity) is so unervingly, invigoratingly direct, you can’t help but nod and tap your foot furiously from the first second to the last”
The Sunday Business Post ***“Straight In No Kissing is an immediate affair, grabbing the attention with it’s pulsating punk-pop soundtrack and O’Flynn’s vibrant vocals”
The Sunday Times“SJ Wai, the singer of Dublin band Dirty Epics, is one of the most exciting performers in the country”

Hey, We're having a launch party upstairs in whelans for our debut EP "Dead Man's Dream" on friday night!! please join us! Best wishes The Whiskey Limbs:>
I would love to perform there, i write for artist tracks and the tracks on the page are from Tiggy a producer i'm promoting, currently trying to get the funds together to be able to put on a show, i wanting to work with rock artists i work with a nicer than average team of music arrangers and singer/ songwriters, I would love to be able to produce a piece of music so if your looking for a nice tune to tear into a rock track i have access to the material if you want to work pre written stuff. I want to come to Ireland because its fairly different and the experience is so much more for life, beside i have a long lost friend that i'm trying to get back in touch with, so let me know about shows and stuff and ill try to book events and come down.
