Few bands have the ability to infuriate and impress in equal measures as Dublin band The Rags, who over the past maybe 4 years have released a number brilliant (if underrated) singles and played a string of equally impressive live shows. It’s not the quality that disappoints but the unfortunate lack of material to surface. The drought is finally over though, debut album A National Light is set to be released in May and to celebrate a promo video has appeared online, ‘Uniforms & Neckties’ has all the hallmarks of an angry, stinging attack on the modern rat race chasing a lifestyle that only makes people miserable. Looking forward to the album.

The Rags play Dublin’s Whelan’s on May 29th
