The Hot Press Newsdesk, 07 Sep 2007
Bressie and the boys will end their year in style in Dublin's Ambassador Theatre on Friday December 7. Tickets are priced €23.00 and are available from usual Ticketmaster outlets nationwide from Friday September 7.
This will be an all-ages show with over-14s welcome when accompanied by a person aged 21 and over. It's also going to be one of the last chances to enjoy a gig in the Northside venue before it's converted into a library next year.

It’s The Blizzards! But without the gigantic choruses! The monotonic nature of ‘On The Right Track’ never made it an obvious contender for a single, but it certainly shows a different side to them: they may excel in high-energy suckerpunches, but they know how to get all contemplative too. Fittingly, their B-side is the chuckle-worthy ‘It’s Easy To Write A Song In A Minor Key’, and as a non-album track it will draw in their in ever-growing legion of diehards.

The Irish band of last year by some measure, the Blizzards’ ascent is most notable for how far they’ve come in such a short space of time. ‘Fantasy’ offers more of their spirited punk pop but it’s B-side ‘Sweet As Sound’ that proves just what they’re capable, a subtle little tune that builds to a harmony-filled conclusion and is an easy match to anything on the album. The only way, it would seem, is up.

Mullingar’s finest release a single that’s not exactly in the ‘Trouble’ or ‘Miss Fantasia Preaches’ league of catchy pop-punk. But rest assured – it contains their trademark harmonies and witty wordplay, and bounces along like a pogostick on a trampoline. It’ll no doubt keep their growing legion of fans placated while the new album makes its way into record shops. But it’s worth pointing out they’re capable of better than this.

The Blizzards' rollercoaster shows no sign of losing momentum. This little number is destined to become one of the tracks of the (late) summer. The boys from Mullingar have taken Weezer’s power pop formula, added a dash of Scissor Sisters glam and a pinch of Queen bombast. The result? An instantly catchy tune that will keep their fans sated (just about) until their debut album arrives in the autumn.
