FRED are the most exciting band to come out of Ireland in along time.

The 5 piece from Cork City have exploded onto the Irish music scene and

now look set to launch their unique brand of high-energy odd-rock on

the rest of the planet.

âLike Sly & The Family Stone in a swordfight with the Flaming Lips,

refereed by Brian Wilsonâ according to national newspaper The Irish

Post, FRED take everything that is good about music and put it in one

giant sexy-ass package. Imagine your favourite song, now imagine your

favourite song cooking you dinner. Thatâs how good FRED are.

Releasing their magnificently glorious album âMaking Music So You Donât

Have Toâ, to a sold out Opera House, the record has since brought

feelings of tenderness and unbridled joy to all that have heard it,

with some fans going so far as to say that their souls burst on

listening. How can one band make so many feel this way? By bulldozing

all musical boundaries that lay in their path.


From being mere cult heroes in their native city one year ago, they

have gone on to appear on every radio station, TV channel and stage in

the country. From being used as theme music on national radio and TV

shows (and beyond to the world famous BBC studios) enlisting droves in

the FRED army everywhere they goâ¦â¦â¦..

In the last year alone, they played to over 20,000 people at their own

shows, excluding major festival appearances. This is the beginning of

something special.

The national press have delivered their verdict:

âMusical Mavericksâ Hot Press

âBest Album Of The Yearâ The Village

âFecund and Fecklessâ The Irish Times

âUnbelievably Brilliantâ The Irish Examiner
