When developing a new sound for 2010 it cant hurt to turn the volume up to eleven, can it? Not for The Bull Monro, who release their debut single, Late November this mid May. And shit, it’s loud.
The Bull Monro have been cutting their teeth on the live circuit for quite some time now, elating audiences from Wicklow to Wroclaw. The duo, comprised of Danny Maher and Rob McComish have spent the past few months working on a worthy stock pile of tunes from their catalogue of self proclaimed anti-folk punk funk.
From the first punch of the drums it’s instant that Late November is a move away from the acoustic based songs of old and an embrace of new experimental electronic influences. MGMT wish they came up with this sound. So does Timbaland. The snaps, the rumbles, the thuds, the build-ups, the breaks, its high octane, its danceable, its moshable. It’s a big filthy cake of musical delights that you want to dive head first in to. As far as duo’s go The Bull Monro are scaling the heights with The Black Keys and The White Stripes.
Late November 2009 holds significance to Maher as the phrase is repeated like a mantra over McComish’s thundering beats. It’s a date he won’t forget, it’s a song you won’t want to.
