HOTPRESS

After two years and two limited releases, Evil Harrisons finally hit their stride in spectacular fashion. Six tracks on a debut single may seem to be a bit presumptious but, like the Rags before them, they exude the confidence to make it all sound effortless. The pick of the bunch is "Some Grand Plan", a bizarre clash of guitars, vocals that sound like Bob Dylan rapping and a shuffling dance beat. The other five tracks are no slouch either, displaying an equally admirable disregard for convention.

CONNECTED MAGAZINE

Evil Harrisons are not easy listening, rather- Evil, an acquired taste if you will. (And in a time when bands want to do nothing more than please the moral majority- and the record labels- it takes independent minds to make music without a business agenda) Let me start by saying that you won't hear anything, remotely like this this year, or for the foreseeable future. 5/5


ENTERTAINMENT.IE

Opening with the downbeat-yet-lithe pop of Some Grand Plan, singer Ronan Murphy's yo-yo vocals sprawl delightfully across the track like an indie Eminem; the rollicking jazzy-pop of Lion Salad follows a more conventional blueprint, but is undeniably catchy all the same, while the bombastic funk undertones of Pimp My Physical Ride - replete with unforeseen chord changes and warm piano interludes - showcase Murphy and guitarist Barry Dwyer's superlative songwriting talent. The closing couplet of torch song Corner Crazy and The Life I'm Dreaming Of - a jazzy, Morcheeba-style ballad that features a smoky-voiced female vocalist - bring the pace down nicely, but it's still not enough to erase the memory of standout track A Pickle Like You. 'I don't really care', Murphy croons in that familiar syrupy snarl, 'I got you like Lenin in Red Square', as his bandmates harmonise like a barbershop's finest. As much talent as one band could possibly cram into fifteen minutes. 4/5

INDUBLIN MAGAZINE

Opening song Some Grand Plan, sees Ronan rapping maniacally over a breezy, lilting rhythm; the contrast works like a dream. "It's a sort of paranoid...manic monologue: agitated, terrified, excited. It's a love song and a confession - a sort of hovering around the moment of surrender. I had a lot of fun with this one; really tried to push the expressive envelope." Pick of the bunch, A Pickle Like You, with its floaty-light but deceptively delicious melody, depicts revenge as sweet and sour. "It's at once a struggle with the masochistic search for inspiration, followed by the difficulty of artistic detachment when your heart's been broken - A bit hysterical, that one." I couldn't have put it better....At 15-minutes short, the In If It Is EP is greatness itself and a must-own. The Ticket, April 9 2009 45: EVIL HARRISONS This Dundalk trio aren’t especially well-known; they’re not part of any scene, they don’t have a deliberate “angle”, and they haven’t scored a single hit. Yet their In If It Is (2007) was one of the best EPs by an Irish band in recent memory. Singer and lyricist Ronan Murphy is influenced by literature and pop culture, but his wordy concoctions are clever, carefully thought-out and crucially unpretentious. Warm, bouncy jangle-pop with a bite, swoonsome torch songs . . . they’ve got it all. Evil Harrisons’ debut album, due this year, should fortify their standing as the best unsigned band in Ireland.

   About Evil Harrisons


In 2004, Evil Harrisons were born when Rónán Murphy (Vocals) was introduced to Nicolás Puyané (Bass) and Paul Carolan (Drums). The inclusion of Murphy resulted in an instant spur of songwriting which resulted in the groups debut EP "X as in Fox". A small, limited release in late 2004 "X as in Fox" helped pave the way for their second 4 track EP "Seafood and Crab". Recorded for 50 in two days and named after a sandwich paste they daren't try, "Seafood and Crab" was the groups first freely available EP. Available at gigs, the EP prooved to be a success with audiences and Evil Harrisons followed this up with the release of their debut single in 2005.

Featuring live favorites Youre my ears and my big toes and Oh Bonnie this single was released in late April 06. Produced by Marc Carolan (Thrills/Muse/JJ72) the tracks showcased the groups willingness to experiment with genres while remaining true to their individual style. An extensive tour of Ireland taking in 20 dates from Belfast to Cork between Mar-April in 2006 followed.

In September '06 Evil Harrisons were studio-bound once again to record a new 6-track EP in Grouse Lodge Studios Co. Westmeath and Suite Studios Co. Dublin. Produced and recorded by Evil Harrisons and Ciaran Bradshaw this EP was completed on October 30th 2006 and released in March 2007 to crticial acclaim and was available in Irish records shops and to download, with an accompanying Irish tour in March/April 2007. March 2008 saw long time member Barry Dwyer(Guitar) leave the group.
