Influencestoo many influences, tooooo mmaaannnyy, but early Helmet, Soundgarden, Rocket From The Crypt, Pavement, Pantera, Kyuss, Led Zepplin, Queens of the Stone Age, Pearl Jam (giveamanakeith), McLusky, The Smiths, Amen, The Beastie Boys, Bruce Sprigsteen, Neil Young, we probably don't sound like any of them though....
Sounds Like
"a reinvention of punk and hardcore from about 1970 to the present taken to its minimalist end. demented genius, so go and buy the album." www.thumped.com
"We Are The Way Forward combines the ugliness of brute force with the beauty of invention. A classic" 9/10 Hot Press
"One of the best noisy albums to come out of Ireland in recent times... They did it - two sly fuckers from Limerick and their brilliant album" 4/5 FoggyNotions
"This is a live show in your lounge room and I cannot sit here, inertly another second!" Careless Talk Costs Lives

CMJ Music Marathon 2008 Day 3: Giveamanakick Words by Vijith Assar
Being that I’m a cynical ass and this here is a “Music From Ireland” showcase, for a brief moment I fully expected that I’d be starting this recap with a joke about potatoes, or maybe car bombs (the drink), or Lucky Charms, or car bombs (the unconscionable acts of Euro-terrorism), or the pompousness of Bono, or… well, gosh, the possibilities are endless! So much for that plan: Giveamanakick deserve to be taken seriously. The diagonal engine-revving of the opening guitar riff caught me in the throat as soon as I walked in, and the next forty minutes were positively unrelenting. Train-wreck-in-a-box vocals, Tom Morello vertical contours, guttural kick drum rolls, and, at one point, a power chord juxtaposed against a droning high E string which were positively transcendent together, especially in this particular context. See, the depth of arrangement was stunning for a duo, but at the same time, with just two grumbling Irishmen on stage, it was almost like a minimalist reduction of punk—the genuinely aggressive kind, not just the regional-flavor Dropkick Murphy thing. That’s still an oversimplification, though: It was too jagged and prog-rock and stuttering and, well, too admirable and difficult. I’ve met a fair number of punk rock kids over the years, and they generally can’t do anything remotely like this because they just don’t practice enough. It’s not actually loose and reckless—you just have to make it look that way. Having discovered these guys, CMJ suddenly makes sense again. The sheer number of shows and the alarming who-the-hell-is-that ratio can be pretty intimidating, and sometimes enough to overcome even the most meticulous of logistical organization attempts. But all across the city, new under-appreciated treasures are popping up in front of music lovers as if in a game of rock-and-roll Whack-A-Mole. Eat that, Guitar Hero. I stumbled upon this accidentally, instead expecting the Autodrone set that’s going down a couple blocks away, but it’s far and away the best thing I’ve seen this week so far. I’ve been drinking sponsored-by-Red-Bulls for days, but come tomorrow morning I’ll finally be re-energized for real. —Vijith Assar

   About Giveamanakick Final tour 4/6


GIVEAMANAKICK ARE SHUTTING DOWN Today we are sad to announce the end of giveamanakick. In the 7 odd years of this band's existence, we have travelled the world playing gigs, played with some of our all-time favourite bands, and have released 3 albums and various singles of our music. We are very proud of what we have achieved with giveamanakick.

giveamanakick was always meant to make a certain kind of impact. We feel we've made that impact now, and we are both happy to move on. Along the way, we have made some excellent friends, and we need to thank everybody who has helped in any respect. There are loads of you out there, so, Thank You All So Much!

Thank you to everybody who's supported us, come to our gigs, talked to us after shows, e-mailed us with kind messages, listened to our music, and for being a fan of giveamanakick. All of you people have made it an absolute pleasure to be in this band for the past 7 years.

That's it guys n' gals. We've have one last tour coming up, and it'd be great to see you all there for a final hoopla.

Steve n' Keith

Firstly, apologies for this generic single spam.

'Kimberly' can be downloaded straight to media enabled phones by texting 'music 3919 M' to 57501 - note the spaces!

For all other phones they've made it more awkward. Text 'music 3919' to 57501 and then log onto www.downloadmusic.ie with your UNIQUE code to download it from the site. Hands up who loves technology.
also available on itunes

If you're in Kilkenny you can buy the hard copy from Hearbeat city and Rollercoaster, or if you're in Dublin you'll find it in Tower Records.

All support in keeping us off the dole and stopping us stealing your taxes is greatly appreciated in the matter. See you in a town near you soon.

All the best from The River Valley Band.
