New Single On The Way From Acrojunk

KilkennyMusic.com favourites Acrojunk (Waterford) are set to release their new single ‘Generation X-Squared’ next week, Friday February 8th, with the single going live on iTunes and downloadmusic.ie. Although laid up with a broken ankle, frontman Rob O’Connor was in touch earlier with the low down on the single.

Generation X-Squared, as the band put it, combines the “fiction of Douglas Coupland and the melodic tuneship of The Divine Comedy”. Also included on the single release is a cover version of ‘Teenage Kicks’ from The Undertones, Acrojunks “most interesting cover version to date”.

The band are looking to follow on the release of Generation X-Squared later this year with their first album release.

We’ve featured the lads on the podcast once or twice and had the pleasure of hosting Rob at the One Take Sessions back before we moved to Cleere’s, as well as catching one of their Kilkenny performances in 2007 (a bout of sickness kept me away from the other one in The Pumphouse) and hopefully we’ll see the lads, or Rob, back at the One Take Sessions in the next month or two.

They’ll be playing Gleeson’s in Clonmel on the 8th of February, followed by appearances in Cassidy’s (Dublin, Feb 12th) and Phil Grimes (Waterford, Feb 14th). Check their MySpace for a full list of tour dates in promotion of the single.
