Noize Makes Enemies

Angel Pier is one of those unique bands that you really don’t come across very often. Quiet, unassuming, yet to the point, this EP is the perfect description of what happens when a couple of ex-Catholic schoolboys start to experiment with life, love and everything in-between and get caught up in all of the sentiment and emotion that goes on within the cycle of life.

After creating a bit of a stir back in March during the Canadian Music Week, the lads whom three parts hail from Ireland and one part from Canada, were invited back to perform as part of this year’s NXNE at the invitation of Canada’s premier recording label and distributors, the Maple Music ‘Fresh Obsessed’ Showcase.

Bullet Holes and Broken Sectors is their second EP to date close on the heels of their first release ‘Sacrifice’ and it features the standout track, Sprites. A third offering of Angel Pier is set to follow in the beginning of 2009.

Drawing on elements echoing the early days of the Stone Roses and the gentle persuasion of Thome Yorke, Angel Pier presents strong lyrical songwriting and emotionally charged vocals by front man Darraugh Nolan alongside a solid supporting cast comprised of Mark Colbert (drums), Lucas Paluch (Guitar) and Vinny Redmond (bass). This EP for Angel Pier and their growing fan base becomes another collection of worthwhile songs that demand listening to again and again if only for their sheer simplicity, beautiful melodies and sincere vocal qualities fused with pounding guitars and crashing drums.

‘Sprites’ the intended single will be released in the British Isles and across North America this summer.
