Possibly Intoxicated Gents

With a slightly debatable name like Possibly Intoxicated Gents, this Dublin band won't be forgotten easily. This four piece, with Eoin McGowan on vocals and guitar, Ben Graham on vocals and bass, Dave McPartland on backing vocals and guitar, and Fin Reilly on drums, play 'garage punk', are like no other band around at the moment, and the total opposite of the indie groups of which there are just too many to count.


The band formed in late 2008, and their latest EP "With Sufficient Thrust, Pigs Fly Just Fine" combines a great mixture of rock, indie, and alternative music.
Magic Bag is a fantastic opener; enthusiastic and fast-paced, just oozing with energy. This leads into 
Second Hand Fun, a cheekier side to the band. It is easy to tell the guys have fun playing together, especially with this song. Black Rain keeps up with the energy, with infectious chants of 'freak, freak, freak!', a wonderful addition to the song.
Finishing the EP is VIP, showing there is not one slow song in here; PIG just bring chaos into all of their songs.

This group need to be seen live to appreciate their energy and power. Download the above EP from http://possiblyintoxicatedgents.bandcamp.com/
