   About Hoovers & Sledgehammers
Following on from the meteoric success of ‘Sex offenders in your Medicine Cabinet’, which included the cult hit, ‘Joyridin’, Hoovers & Sledgehammers release their new and much anticipated ep, ‘Visions from Eceloe Mountain’. Recorded in their very own creative batcave, mixed in a large pot of spinach and turnip, mastered by a talking hen, VFEM is the world seen and experienced by us all but distilled and purified through the creative minds of Earl Mustard, Igor Honey and Boris Pollenhands. With five songs coming in at just over twenty minutes VFEM, will be a ride you will return to again and again; like a go on the helter skelter when you were five, which terminated in the large arse of your best friends mother. Released on Drunken Lust Records and available through all good record shops, VFEM will be officially launched on the 7th of August in the Lower Deck, Portabello, Dublin. 100 hand made, limited edition ep’s will be given out at the door with admission. ….and now a few words from the beautiful people of Ireland. "Self-released potty-mouthed horror show" – Mongrel Magazine "Purveyors of Gonzo Punk" – Connected Magazine "Who-gives-a-shit attitude, with smart, absurdist lyrics" – Journal of Music Ireland

Hey Hoovers & Sledgehammers,
Just seen that you on the line up for Knockanstockan this year. Can't wait for the fest, its going to be great.
Thought you might be interested in having a look at MUZU TV. It's a network of artist TV channels, for signed and unsigned artists who want to increase their audience, promote themselves, and make a bit of cash in the process.
Here’s what you gotta do!! Users or artists create their own channel on http://www.muzu.tv/, and programme the TV player with their favourite videos. Also, the player can be embed to the social network pages, blogs, or website. The really cool thing about this is that it’s completely free for you and your fans! We sell advertising on the site and we give you half of the net revenue.
Please log on and check the site out, create a channel and load some of your bands videos/live session on your channel. Or if you are recording some content of your band at Knockanstockan fest, you could add it to your channel as well.
One last thing, if you have any comments or suggestions about the site, fire away, we'd love hear of any way we can improve it.
Thanks,
MUZU TV

Hello Hoovers & Sledgehammers :)

Welcome and thank you for becoming our friend! The helpless must be protected, and those with no voice of their own must be spoken up for. Those who prey on our children rely on silence, and it must not be allowed to continue!
So thank you for adding your voice to ours, together we will grow louder....
AND WE WILL BREAK THE SILENCE!!!
