The band's influences are very varied, due to the diverse musical tastes of the members. The band adds reggae, blues and whatever you're having yourself to a classic rock 'n' roll sound.
After finding our feet and getting used to each others sound for the first few months of 2006 we have been concentrating largely on developing our own songs. In October 2007 we released our first album, "Smokie Joe's Late Night Honky Tonk", named after a pub we once played in in Ballintubber, Co. Roscommon. Four of the songs from this are featured on YouTube. Simply type in "Mellow Blue Stuff".
Since then we have been working on tracks for our second album. We are progressing very well with this at the moment and expect to have it finished by around December of 2008.
Our lyrical content matches our music in its diversity. We do not shy away from controversial topics and anything and everything is fair game is far as we are concerned. We write about everyday events and experiences, people we have met, or topical events. Examples of recent topics covered are liars, the gangland problem in Dublin and Don Rumsfeld’s rant.
