"These Dubliners are the masters of gentle, wistful songs and lush soundscapes." - OK Magazine
"this Dublin three-piece have perfected the whole stop/start, quiet bit/loud bit thing. They manage to be both epic and minimal." - Q Magazine
"Buy it. The ghost of Chet Baker meets the ghost of Kurt Cobain on a sleepover at Burt Bacharach's ranch." - Evening Herald
"When they got to the crossroads with the sign reading 'comfortable mediocrity' one way and 'awkward brilliance' the other, Dublin's The Dudley Corporation are one of those rare bands who've chosen the latter" - Rock Sound
"they can balance anarchy and airplay, enhancing rhythmic rupture and emotional impact by slowing down and loosening up." - Irish Times
"The Dudley Corporation are arguably making the most compelling music in Ireland at the minute. Captivating and brilliant in equal measure" - Alternative Ulster
"fourteen more reasons to fall in love with the Dudley Corporation" - Hot Press
"Complex, edgy, stop-start rushes without becoming too convoluted to jettison their tunes. Super-smart stuff." - Irish Times
"It's been such a long time since a band has made a sound half as exciting as this. Only The Strokes have made a record as instantaneously thrilling in 2001." - Limerick Leader
“toe-tapping melodies, great vocal harmonies and crystal clear guitars” - Record Collector, UK
"It is a John Cusack of a rock album: the songs full of a robust, boyish energy, an I-can't-stop-myself hyperactivity, a tremendous intelligence and a tendency to go off without any notice on fantastic, mind-boggling tangents.” - Hot Press, Ireland
“’slanted and enchanted’ on a weird sugar buzz or something equally loveable” - The Event Guide, Ireland
Influences
The above is Duds recently played eartunes.
Otherwise, Megadeth, Meshuggah, Drive Like Jehu and Caetano Veloso. Pummelling hardcore jums and delicious hippy nonsense suits us fine...
Sounds Like
warm nutella for your ears.
No big pics in the comments please, we just delete 'em!!!

Whoa. The Dudley Corporation are Joss, Mark and Dudley.
They do things like release fine records, get married and play tremulous rock concerts, travelling the world and losing small fortunes.
Our last LP "In Love With The Dudley Corporation" was considered the 56th best Irish lp of all time by Hot Press magazine, and came something like 8th or 9th in Alternative Ulster's records of 2004. Deadly. It was recently issued in Australia on Wireless Records through MGM.
Hey lads, you kicked ass at the Twisted Pepper on Saturday! Really like your music! Have a listen to our stuff and if you like it, we'd love to play support for you some time!
howdy, i was delighted to find upon listening that Just Like Christmas was a Corpo version of the Low number, even in sunny May it's a song that brings a smile. I saw u once, years ago in Whelans with Neosupervital and Life After Modeling and it was amazing. In Love With... is one of the best albums ever by an Irish outfit, its up there with Astral Weeks, Heartworm and Ghostown for me. hope to catch u some time soon, keep it up
Thanks for the friendship!! Keep rockin' and much love and success always!!
