Recorded in April 2015, two days after returning home from their first-ever US tour, the nine tracks making up ‘Holding Hands With Jamie’ capture, more than any previous recordings, the tension and abrasive energy of a Girl Band performance. Going into the studio (Bow Lane, Dublin) to record an album – rather than a track or two here and there – “required a different mindset,” guitarist Alan Duggan explained. “It was way more challenging to stay focused – tricky to find a balance between keeping a distance from the songs for perspective but also to fully concentrate on them.” · While they had the luxury of studio time (“we spent three or four days just setting up drums, amps, and mics”), the band laid down seven of the tracks in less than two days, ensuring that the record pulses with vitality and forward momentum. Recalling any number of things but for only milliseconds at a time, Girl Band make a mockery of comparisons, because you can only get as far as “oh this bit sounds like…” before a guitar scuff-screams, the bass crunches like a car in a bailing press, or something else visceral and glorious comes from the speakers and the thought’s erased. This young Dublin foursome are creating vital, propulsive, and almost terrifyingly energetic noise rock that pulls as much influence from classic techno as from their more obvious post-punk, noise and industrial predecessors. “It’s hard to overstate how heart-stopping it is to see these four guys from Dublin play live, but I’ll say they make it sound like the whole world is going to literally explode in a massive, interstellar ball of fire. It’s the end of everything and they’re both indifferent and full of rage.” – NPR “The one blindingly obvious thing about Girl Band is that this is fucking great.” – Noisey “Their cover of [Yorkshire exponent of terror techno] Blawan’s ‘Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage?’ features distortion and noise like a Hoover crying. It is mechanistic and rhythmical-industrial, not grunge at all, eight minutes of pure panic.” – The Guardian Artist Girl Band Genre Rock And Pop Label Rough Trade Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Umbongo Pears For Lunch Baloo In Plastic Paul The Last Riddler Texting An Alien Fucking Butter The Witch Doctor Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Girl Band and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Girl Band The Talkies Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rough Trade | 1LP Released 27th September 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Girl Band The Talkies £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rough Trade Released Date: 27th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sherlocks, The Under Your Sky Rock And Pop | BMG Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th October 2019 £19.00 - £22.00 Select options Sherlocks, The Under Your Sky £19.00 - £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th October 2019 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Dinosaur Jr Without A Sound Rock And Pop | Vinyl 180 | 180g, 1LP Released 10th February 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dinosaur Jr Without A Sound £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Vinyl 180 SKU: VIN180LP072 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sweet Enoughs, The Marshmallow Rock And Pop | Wondercore Island | 1LP Released 19th May 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sweet Enoughs, The Marshmallow £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wondercore Island SKU: WCI008 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alfie Boe & Michael Ball Together in Vegas Rock And Pop | Decca | 1LP Released 25th November 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alfie Boe & Michael Ball Together in Vegas £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Decca SKU: 4577137 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Monochrome Set, The Volume, Contrast, Brilliance…Sessions & Singles Rock And Pop | Optic Nerve | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th April 2014 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Monochrome Set, The Volume, Contrast, Brilliance…Sessions & Singles £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Optic Nerve SKU: OPT49 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Young Gods, The The Young Gods Rock And Pop | Two Gentlemen | 2LP Released 9th April 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Young Gods, The The Young Gods £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Two Gentlemen SKU: TWOGTL81LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yazoo Upstairs at Eric’s Electronica | BMG Records | 180g, 1LP Released 26th March 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yazoo Upstairs at Eric’s £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538372274 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robert Ellis Yesterday’s News Rock And Pop | Niles City Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th June 2023 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Ellis Yesterday’s News £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Niles City Records SKU: LPNCRS002C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs The Best Of Under The Covers Rock And Pop | Demon Records | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd May 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs The Best Of Under The Covers £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Demon Records SKU: DEMREC643 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Extra Width Rock And Pop | Shove | 1LP Released 21st August 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Extra Width £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Shove SKU: SHV14LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
