Number Ones, The

***NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL!!! Received a 7.9 rating from Pitchfork. THE NUMBER ONES (aka THE #1s) will take you to power pop heaven with their razor sharp 10 track self titled debut album. They are a Dublin based four-piece featuring members of CIAN NUGENT, THE COSMOS (Matador / No Quarter), CHEAP FREAKS (Big Neck), STRONG BOYS (Milk Run), and THE PACIFICES (Bachelor). Even though they are based in Dublin, they sound like a classic Good Vibrations band from 1979. The Number Ones have energy, passion and tunes so good, it makes you think you've heard them already. Each track is a golden nugget of power pop fun that never outlasts it's welcome as every track is under three minutes. Although this sort of music seems to have been done a million times before, it sounds fresh in the hands of The Number Ones. This is pure summer fun for fans of Rudi, Protex, Exploding Hearts, Buzzcocks and The Tranzmitors.
