Year of the Husband

2004 saw the European release of the In Love With The Dudley Corporation and in its wake a mountain of unanimously favorable praise. Q magazine said that the Dublin three-piece have, "perfected the whole stop/start, quiet/loud thing" and that something truly special was around the corner. It's been some ride. A phenomenal live workrate has taken them to the UK, America, Iceland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Austria. Their shows are notoriously frenzied, visceral and exciting affairs with one song careering into another or stopping on a sixpence, as they say in football parlance. In brief, they play short rock songs with wit, verve, romance and booksmarts. In-between bouts of touring they've managed to release three acclaimed LPs, several 7" singles and been on a slew of compilations.
