The Immediate

THE IMMEDIATE are from Dublin, Ireland. http://www.theimmediate.tv They consist of four young men (with a penchant for instrument swapping) called Peter Toomey, Conor O’Brien, Eoin O’Reilly and David Hedderman. "Never Seen / Say This" is their first U.K. release and is available as a limited edition 7” single on Fierce Panda Records (NING 161) http://www.fiercepanda.co.uk and download on Monday January 17th 2005.
Since releasing their own independent e.p. “Don’t Get Lost” “Critics have praised the band’s “fresh and exciting sound” and “ability to build a great pop song on a kind of chugging, insistent beat” as well as vaguely likening them to The Velvet Underground, Wilco, Radiohead, The Pixies, Franz Ferdinand, and Scott Walker. Fresh, exciting, insistent – the simplicity of expression has been overlooked for too long. We must return to the immediate. |
