Bass-heavy riffage from Belfast

From the first show in 2004, it was clear that this band were not going to compromise. They played louder and more viscerally than any of their contemporaries in the bourgeoning Irish music scene and BBC Radio Ulster were raving about them from the very start, naming one of their tunes single of the year two years running. Like Sonic Youth, Mclusky and The Jesus Lizard before them, LaFaro have a raucous and relentless sound. They've played all over the country and have supported a host of big guns already. Trust us, you'll kick yourself if you miss them at Reading and Leeds.

A great live band, but with limited audience potential beyond a hardened few.
