THE DEAD FLAGS <the-dead-flags>
"Straight Outta Sligo"


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. 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.

The band's debut single "O MY LOVE! O MY GOD!!" was released in August, reached 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".

The band are currently recording their first EP with producer Karl Odlum (Ham Sandwich, The Frames, Kila)

  • REVOLVER on Saturday

    Hey Hey!

    It's been a busybusy few weeks what with the recording/mixing of our new EP and something called the economy collapsing around us and all that but never fear, your heroes are returning. We'll be playing as part of the ultra-prestigious REVOLVER Presents... nights in Radio City, Dublin this Saturday 25th October and you're going to be there too. Isn't that great?

    Yes sir, we're playing with our old muckers, the wonderful RED KID along with The Red Labels and Gran Casino who seem to be fabulous also. It's a great night with plenty o' live music followed by a late bar and DJ Set by Phantom's Sinéad Ni Mhórda so it really is the only place to be this Saturday.

    If you want to come (and why wouldn't you), tickets are only €10.00 and you can pre-buy them from our good selves so just mail us at info@thedeadflags.com and we'll hook you up. PS: we'll be premiering some new material on which we've been working so we think it'll be a good show.

    See you there!!

    BF/TDF xx
