Bite Down

The Kinetiks are a fierce machine. They’ve come a long way from mop-topped sneaker rock in Eamonn Dorans when Johnny Craig slated them as “The Kooks without the hooks”…this weekend they take to Whelans to launch their new single, Bite The Bullet, recorded with Gareth Mannix in Grouse Lodge last year. You can buy Bite The Bullet in digital form from Sonikpollen and downloadmusic.ie or alternatively, pop into Tower Records at 1pm to see their live in-store sesh. Hard copies are also available at Road Recs.

Head along to tonight’s show to see Warm Wax and The Blonde Majority, or to the all-ages show tomorrow afternoon where Albyno Rhino and Blue Syndrome bring a blast-beat to the younger masses.

Here’s the HotPress/Tisch vid for one of my favourite tunes of 2007: A Smile’d Crack Your Face
