Albums Thought for the Day

Press Reviews Inside Cork - 27 Feb 2003 Michael Carr The tunes are catchy but intelligent, and there are a few stand our singles on the album should the band decide to release them. The Irish Times - The Ticket 27 Feb 03 (Tony Clayton-Lea) No cartoon rockers, these, but fully drawn musicians and singers. The Irish Times - The Ticket 19 Dec 2002 (Tony Clayton-Lea) Scribble - Thought for the Day Trust our Southern cousins to deposit the Christmas goodies one week before the big day. Scribble deliver more than just a calling card, however. Their debut album is a strong case of playing hard but fair, a showcase of their talents but not being too clever-clever about it. Ranging from the bristling, intelligent guitar pop (Barry Sebastian) to the less successful ruminative rustic tunes(Sing your Song), the band make the mistake of spreading themselves too thinly over familiar ground. The significant plus point, however, is the set of lyrics throughout : main songwriter Declan Carey invests small-town songs (including Tuesday Afternoon, Those Two Lovers) with big ideas that are expressed coherently and with no small degree of wit. Not so much a Scribble then as a burgeoning success writ large.
