\"Bouts<\/h4>\n

Check out the video for ‘Allies’, the latest\u00a0release from Dublin band, Bouts.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Fun and frivolous, the video is the perfect accompaniment to ‘Allies’, which is the second release\u00a0from\u00a0their upcoming EP, ‘Unlearn’,\u00a0set for release via limited edition cassette (YES) on February 29.<\/p>\n

Comprising\u00a0Barry Bracken, Colin Boylan, Daniel Flynn and Niall Jackson, the four piece describe their music as indie guitar loudness, but it’s so much more than that. Bouts are several parts pop and several parts rock, with all parts fun. Their big guitar hooks take the listener to the top of the mountain and then drop them off the other side, with Bouts laughing manically on the other side. Or something like that.<\/p>\n
