2 boys.
When they met, it was moider HOT PRESS"These are highly accesible, superbly structured songs played by a band which has clearly been studying how to deploy catchy winding melodies" 8/10 NEWS OF THE WORLD "This is not an album for chin-strokers. It's honest and un-pretentious,13 high-energy, highly infectious songs, mostly tales of love, betrayal and drunken dates" ROAD RECORDS "The debut album from this new limerick based four piece outfit. This is a very catchy slice of old style rock n roll sounding like some blend of motown pop meets The Ramones. Try to imagine Blondie singing on the famous Phil spector produced Ramones album with much more added gritty pop elements. A truly infectiously catchy debut record with plenty of three minute bubble gum hits to keep both fans of sixties garage pop to seventies pop punk more than happy. It's full of big rock fuzzed up guitar chords and some truly superb vocal harmonies. Could be one of the underground hits of the summer". ENTERTAINMENT.IE "When all is said and done, though, We Should Be Dead aren't lying; if nothing else, you'll want to dance your arse off to practically every song on this fizzy, frothy gem of an album" 4/5 REDTRACKMUSIC.COM "This two boy, two girl combo are a tight, cohesive unit who write excellent pop/ rock songs brimming with attitude, hooks and most importantly these tunes extremely danceable! " MP3HUGGER.COM / THE HYPE MACHINE "Chugging chords, elastic beats and a sweet vocal (I'm hearing Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura) turns what could have been an admirable pastiche into something that could yet shatter a lot of hearts (and not necessarily just the ones made of glass)." IAN DEMPSEY, TODAY FM "Great new sound for 2008" DAN HEGARTY, 2FM "Incredibly catchy" FREQUENCY IRELAND "The ressurected sounds and spirit of a lost generation" 10/10" INDUBLIN MAGAZINE "The brilliantly named 'We Should Be Dead' have a magical pop-sensibility" PHANTOM FM "Ones to watch for 2008" DROP D "Blissful, energetic and sassy" NEWSTALK 106FM, THE MEANING OF MUSIC "I think we can look forward to big things for these guys" We Should Be Dead http://weshouldbedead.bebo.com/ Live in Ireland?
