About SICKBOY

Sickboy kicked off 2009 with a small tour of the US, appearing at the SXSW festival in Austin Texas along with shows in NYC and San Antonio. The bands much anticipated debut album is also set to be realised this year as a follow up to the critically acclaimed: “Taken Away In A Car” EP. After sharing the stage with the likes of The Coral, The Kooks, Gang of Four and The Bravery: Sickboy have proved themselves to be a hard live act to follow.

The band are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album and hope to release it in March 2010

The bands first single “The A-Tune”, received serious radio airplay, featured on a TV advert for the six nations rugby on RTE and was voted single of the Year on Phantom Fm, Ireland’s number one music station. The bands have also been received warmly by Ireland’s music press, with positive reviews in Hot Press, The Irish Examiner, Downloadmusic.ie and Mixtape.

PRESS RAMBLINGS

NME

"The sound of disobedience, Dublins SICKBOY have emerged from the capitals Punk scene with the rampant sloganeering of the clash and the isolated bass hooks of Joy Division dripping down their front.."

HOTPRESS EP REVIEW

''Sickboys debut EP gets going nicely with 'Taken away in a car',which revels in an intricately arranged cocktail of layered noise and infectious harmonies. Things are then kicked up a further gear with the tense and highly charged guitar squall of 'Objects',an effective mash up of the bleak emotion of Joy Division with the dense and resonant riffwork of the Stone Roses. 'Shit Tv' completes the trio and confirms the impression of Sickboy as talented and distinctive pracitioners of the indie art.''

DROP D "Working Class heroes festival gig review"

Sickboy provide a delightful roar of noise that both soothes and commands attention, the layered feel of their music swirling around the room as the vocals receive the sing along treatment from the crowd at the front. A fine show to put on for such a large crowd, venues bigger than this may not be beyond the ill men for much longer.

ALTERNATIVE IRELAND "Dublins best kept secret"

“A favourite, simply titled 'The A-Tune', captures a great balance between melody and guitar noise which reminds me a bit of the exhilarating sounds of The Jesus and Mary Chain around the time of Rollercoaster, blended somewhat with the effortless euphoric energy of The Stone Roses in their early years..”.

LIBERTYPIX PHOTOGRAPHY	Nov 22 2009 5:55 PM Hello everyone, thanks for the ad. JOIN US ON THE GAZA FREEDOM MARCH The International Coalition to End the Illegal Siege of Gaza formed after Israel's 22-day assault on Gaza in winter 2008-09. We are a diverse coalition that represents all faiths (and no faith) and is focused on human rights in conformance with international law. ***To mark the fact that is has been one year since the Israeli attack, the coalition is mobilizing an international contingent for a nonviolent march alongside the people of Gaza on Dec. 31, to end the illegal blockade.* The coalition conceives this march as part of a broader strategy to end the Israeli occupation by targeting nonviolently its flagrant violations of international law from the house demolitions and settlements to the curfews and torture. *JOIN US ON THE GAZA FREEDOM MARCH December 27—January 2! *This site is the only authoritative source of information on the Gaza Freedom March. *** All those planning to join the march must sign up on this site. http://www.gazafreedommarch.org/article.php?list=type&type=416 MARCH TO OPEN THE BORDERS OF GAZA!
