    Free Music Monday 25/06/2012: Fred and Bob

    Today’s recommended free music comes from the awesome Dublin based four piece, Fred and Bob. I’ve been looking forward to to this E.P. for a long time. I first got to know the band when they came onto Culture Cafe when it broadcast on DCUfm. Great laughs were had with the Emma, Sophia, Gill and Neil.

    I then had the honour last week of giving Eagle from this E.P. it’s first airing on my last radio show on DCUfm. You’ll be able to hear me chat to Emma, on Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM this Wednesday at 10am. I’ll have a podcast up later too.

    Anyway, this awesome new E.P. was just released on Friday and is the first release in about eighteen months for the band and tis a cracker!! It can be downloaded from Bandcamp.

    Here’s the video for Eagle!

  • Fred and Bob: Caramel Back Review

    fred and bobThe name Fred and Bob had me expecting two guys with beards playing guitars. That was not to be, in a good way. Fred and Bob are actually a female led alternative fourpiece who like a bit of indie punk.

    ‘Caramel Back’, showcases Emma Greenhalgh’s vocals immediately. A change from a steady drum pattern to a driving rhythm hooks you and is delightfully blended with a warm fuzzy guitar sound and an intelligent bass line. At 2 mins 54 perfect pop.

    ‘Salmon’ is track two, a melodic uptempo track, again produced to perfection for the genre and style. Allowing each instrument its own space and giving Greenhalgh the space to make the most of her feisty vocals.

    The band will no doubt be compared to Veruca Salt and they do have a speck of the 1990’s but that ain’t no bad thing. They possess an energy and vibrance and are definitely current.  ‘Caramel Back’ is released on December 5th.
