Irish groups that never made it big

[From the Bunker]

The Real Wild West
That Petrol Emotion (Post Undertones project, really good band)
DC Nien/Tokyo Olympics
A House
Paranoid Visions (although maybe they got as famous as an underground punk band can get)
Not Our World (also had various other names; Fugazi impersonators, but very good at it).


Some band whose name I can't recall who had a song called "You Know I fought a war for you" who were kind of early Beatlesy and tipped for big things.

They used to do a excellent Cadburys Flake ad Cover.

Revelino
Microdisney
That Petrol Emotion

TPE one of best live bands I've ever seen. Just got their new boxset last week. How Chemicrazy wasn't massive hit album is a mystery. Their debut Manic Pop Thrill also an absolute classic.

The Radiators from Space another brilliant band that never had the success their music deserved. The late great Phil Chevron went on to have success with The Pogues.
