Thumper – new EP and festival appearances
What you may need to know…
01. Dublin five-piece Thumper have been carving out a niche in the city’s lo-fi/pop community.
02. Starting as a solo project, Thumper’s debut EP released in March of least year, and led to regular gigging around Dublin, as well as a run of dates with Blades Club.
03. Streaming above is the video for new single Rent is Due, available with a pre-order of their new E.P., magnum opuss, releasing June 17th via Little L Records. A limited run of tapes is also on the way.
04. Appearing next at Knockanstockan, Electric Picnic, and the UK’s Truck fest.
Verdict: Noisy, jagged poppy ruckus covered in tape hiss and overdrive. No-nonsense action.

lo-fi/pop community.
Is this a large community? I dislike communities that I have to google to find out what they are.
Less of a tired old trope than, say a “scene” pertaining to music. Check out Little L Records and Popical Island.

Any good house producers in Ireland you can recommend?
Not the best man to be asking re: house, as a snotty punk kid, but Daithi comes recommended, albeit not so much as a house act as someone whose sound is strongly influenced by it. As a Corkman, I suppose Fish Go Deep should get a mention. :-)
I’ve never met a punk before. What are you like?
This is automatically generated, right?
have been among the community of and they have just released their EP to critical acclaim. Catch them this weekend as they play at . Verdict
Insert ‘bandname’, ‘four piece’, ‘combo’, ‘turning heads’, ‘causing a stir’, ‘lofi’, ‘metal’, ‘diy’, ‘community’, ‘upstairs at Whelans’, ‘Cypress Avenue’, ‘tipped for the top’ and other sub Smashy and Nicey drivel as nauseam
Recurring columns do have a common format, Boba. See also: Broadsheet Trailer Park, Nialler’s Gig of the Week.
Being a news/new-band column, please outline what else we would discuss aside from who they are, and what they have upcoming?
Hehe
Try writing in English instead of trying to be Johnny Cigarettes
The following is a superficial assessment based on very little.
The visual effect on the video (sorry I don’t know what said editing effect is called) makes me think they are trying to ape a certain kind of aesthetic:
E.g. https://youtu.be/feQ1BbXCZgA
Which in turn reminds me of

That criticism is aimed more at the video than the band. It occasionally looks a bit silly that’s all.
P.s. The band look like lovely sweet people in between the guitar throwing, and good musicians.
