Dreampop, outta Ireland, in 2009, hooray for Sweet Jane and their boy/girl call and responses. ‘Blackboots and Blackhearts’ is so dreamy it might even make you forget about the doom and gloom for a few minutes. It is a marked progression for the band and sees them edge away from their influences and closer to their own unique voice. And what a final destination it could prove to be. We probably won’t have long to wait either as their debut album is due something this year. ‘Blackboots and Blackhearts’ should be a staple on the college radio circuit at this stage but surely it is only a matter of time before all tomorrow’s parties are swaying to their perfect ditties.

Saw them support A Place to Bury Strangers and they were absolutely rubbish… like seriously bad.
Some song though Bren eh?
I dunno, I wouldn’t rate it. Sure it’s well produced but it’s a bit too formulaic or something.
i’ve listened to ‘Blackboots and Blackhearts’, i also do believe that it’s just a matter of time before theyrock the whole nation,or get international fame as well..they really are good.
Oh I’m glad we agree on this one Connemara.
