Co. Meath band Spearside cover Gary Numan classic on new EP
Co Meath psych hardcore band Spearside have covered Gary Numan and Tubeway Army's seventies synth pop classic Are 'Friends' Electric on their new EP, Hatchet Man. The EP also includes new songs Hatchet Man, Planning Our Escape, and All The Same and is out now on Kill Cool Records. Speaking about the meaning and influences behind the new release, Spearside's vocalist, guitarist and drummer Oisín Walsh said, "While you wait for the axe to drop, he bides his time. He does not live by our codes, does not abide by our ways. "He is a liminal figure. Nameless, faceless, he goes about his work mercilessly and efficiently. He does not enjoy it. "He has never felt joy. He gets dirty so they stay clean. He is the Hatchet Man. Spearside are all things punk - energy, volume, passion, abandon. Perhaps they are the true hatchet men, perhaps you are too?" Oisín is joined in the band by his brother Cian Walsh (vocals/bass) and the band produces all of their music from their own home studio in Trim, Co. Meath. Their previous singles include Bus Stop, Crack In Your Brain, Not Up To Much, Trendsetters, and Passion Merchant and they are currently putting finishing touches to their debut full-length.
