If you think Irish music is just fiddles, harps and acoustic guitars, Humanzi are set to pogo all over your preconceptions.

The Dublin upstarts are the embodiment of indignation on their first full release, mixing sharply delivered gang choruses with grumbling bass lines. Oh, and some obligatory new wave guitars, of course.

The jury's still out on lead singer Shaun's rather whiny delivery.

Released February 13, 2006.
