Product Description
CD Description
Rousing folk/rock from The BibleCodeSundays, who have already built up a legion of fans through their tireless gigging and memorable songs.
With stories of pirates, boxers, death, disease, pubs, the sea, lost lands...builders and going on the lash The BibleCodeSundays bring the rich tapestry of London Irish life into 21st century reality. The lads combine trad sensibility with a knack for incisive comment and observation on the world of the modern Irish Londoner on an album which sees them destined to see their name up in lights on Broadway (Cricklewood or Ealing). 'Boots Or No Boots' features the anticipated release of "Drinking All Day" which has received rave reviews from fans across the UK.
'Boots Or No Boots' is the follow-up album to the debut single release - "Maybe It's Because I'm An Irish Londoner" which aims to get The BibleCodeSundays into the UK charts for St Patrick's Day as part of a local London campaign.
"They're wise enough to realise that, these days, it takes far more than a few Pogues-style thrashers and a rattling, basic rhythm to impress. With a directness and ability to pen some of the most memorable songs to emerge from the second generation Irish in over a decade". - Sean McGhee, Rock 'n' Reel
Over the past two years they have played at Glastonbury, Emirates Stadium, Birmingham Carling Academy, Islington Carling Academy, Glasgow Carling Academy, O'Neill's UK Tour 2009, Hammersmith Palais, Shepherds Bush Empire, City of Manchester Stadium, Celtic Park, Madjeski Stadium and Twickenham Stadium.

Maybe it's because I'm an Irish Londoner...,
By
This review is from: Boots or No Boots (Audio CD)
I had the pleasure not too long ago of seeing the band play live in a local venue, and there wasn't one person in the place who wasn't up and singing along, even if they didn't really know the songs yet.
The Biblecodes are a bunch of second-gen Irish lads from the West (of London, of the Midlands, and of Ireland). They've got Elvis Costello's brother as frontman, and they write and play songs that centre on the feeling of connection with Eire and the legacy of it all, but also acknowledge the feeling of not really belonging to that world. The musicianship is a rollicking, rocking, rough around the edges sort of affair, but it has the grit and passion that just *gets* you, even on the record which is a tough thing to achieve when they are genuinely so very good live. Comparisons to The Pogues just about do them justice, but probably more like a jam session between The Pogues and The Stiff Little Fingers, where someone has managed to also drag Paul Brady along. At times singer Ronan McManus channels his brother, but in more subtle and honest way, an aspect which also leads to some gorgeous tender moments, where his vocal produces a country ache that Van Morrison would be proud of. Stand out tracks are "Mayo Moon", "Maybe it's because I'm an Irish Londoner", "The Green and Red of Harrow" and "Home". Catching them live is an absolute must.

Ain't nothing but pride on this West London face! The best thing I have heard since The Pogues!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Maybe it's because I'm an Irish Londoner ...,
By
This review is from: Boots Or No Boots (Audio CD)
Once again the Biblecodes deliver a stomping piledriver tour de force of an album.
A good range of beats and rhythms, all beautifully woven with the music of the Gael and with lyrics both poignant and often funny. Guinness fuelled rock/folk/punk - Celtabilly - the Biblecodes defy a 'one pigeon hole' description. Opening track "Maybe it's because I'm an Irish Londoner" is fast becoming an anthem ... Thouroughly recommended.
