DUBLIN band, The Cast of Cheers, released their impressive debut album ‘Chariot’ online last February, this 10 track recording clocking in at just over half an hour is certain to be in many listeners debut album of the year list at years end. Sounding like a moodier, angrier Foals with better pop hooks than Two Door Cinema Club this remarkable debut is FREE for you to download here. The Cast of Cheers only formed in October 2009, had ‘Chariot’ almost finished by Christmas and decided to give the album out free online because considering the current download culture it was the fastest way to get the most listeners’ attention. The band have also provided access to their SoundCloud page where you are encouraged to use their stems to remix some of their songs. They have thrown up some of these remixes for you to check out on their myspace . It is only a matter of time before a Limerick gig is booked but you can catch the band in Galway’s Roisin Dubh on May 6 or at festivals over the Summer.
