In November 2019, Girl Band played back to back sold out shows at Dublin's iconic Vicar Street, this was following the release of long awaited second album The Talkies. Recognised for their ferocious live shows which have been described as chaotic, electrifying and 'genuinely dangerous, like one last rave before the apocalypse', these shows were highly intimate and intensely sought after creating an air of 'you had to be there'. This is their first-ever Live vinyl and features tracks from their whole repertoire, some of which have only been performed a handful of times.
September 25 street date. Holding Hands with Jamie, Girl Band’s debut album, comes a few years into their tenure; a few years
after their first tour, nine days crammed into a Fiat Panda; a few years of stamping 7" sleeves to sell at merch tables and mail-order; a few years of writing songs and touring and developing a live ferocity unmatched by nearly anyone. Recorded in April 2015 in their home town of Dublin at Bow Lane Studios over two days after returning home from their first-ever US tour, the nine tracks making up Holding Hands with Jamie capture, more than any previous recordings, the tension and abrasive energy of a Girl Band performance. Recalling any number of things but for only milliseconds at a time, Girl Band make a mockery of comparisons, because you can only get as far as "oh this bit sounds like" before a guitar scuff-screams, the bass crunches like a car in a bailing press, or something else visceral and glorious comes from the speakers, and the thought’s erased. But ultimately, anyone who’s paying attention can only conclude, like Noisey did: "The one blindingly obvious thing about Girl Band is that this is fucking great." "Paint-peelingly vicious" - Toronto Star. "One of the most confident, shit-kicking bands around." - NME. "You don’t so much listen to a Girl Band song as get strapped into it" - Pitchfork.
