PRESENTED BY PAULINE FREEMAN
Straight outta Sligo, Ireland, THE DEAD FLAGS are a 6-armed beast of punk and pop whose mastery of both stage and song belies their youth and (relative) beauty. Citing EELS, Supergrass and early Violent Femmes as key influences the bands songs run the gamut from three-chord power pop to slow-burn anthemic rockers with a liberal sprinkling of barbed and witty lyrics. 2008 has seen them championed by Irish national broadcaster 2FM and Dublin underground station PHANTOM and with such respected publications as HOT PRESS and AU Magazine singing their praises, the Flags' brand of hooky guitar noise is winning them more and more followers wherever they go.

Releasing their debut single "O MY LOVE! O MY GOD!!" in August 2008, the band peaked at No. 22 in the Irish Singles Chart and received extensive national airplay for both the single and its video. Garnering selections such as "Single of the Week" (Irish Daily Star), "Pick of the Fortnight" (HOT PRESS Magazine) and "Song of the Month" (Campus.ie) as well as rave reviews in METRO, AU Magazine and more, THE DEAD FLAGS are the very definition of "ones to watch". Once again working with producer Karl Odlum (The Frames, Ham Sandwich, Kila), the band are putting the finishing touches to their most ambitious project to date- the gritty 4-track EP "WE'VE GOT THE WAYS AND THE MEANS", to be released later this year.
