CHEWING ON TINFOIL

SKA
TALLAGHT, COUNTY DUBLIN
288

In June 2009 the band released their debut album “Get Rich or Try Dyin' ”. The album was recorded in a 150 year-old cottage built on the burial site of an ex-communicated, fornicating monk. Nestled in Glenasmole Valley in the Dublin Mountains, it is dark, damp and dingy; Chewing on Tinfoil consider it home.

"Get Rich" was then released by the New-York based label, Quote Unquote Records for free download and recieved regular rotation on the Mike Davies BBC Radio 1 Punk Show.

In January of 2010, the band retreated back to the aforementioned cottage to write their new EP "Shaving", which was recorded at the end of July in The Hive Studios in Wicklow. The EP will be released on the 22nd of August with a UK and Irish tour to follow.
