About Me

PRESS"There are times when wearing your influences on your sleeve is a very good thing indeed, especially when you're talking bands as definitive as At The Drive-In, Jetplane Landing and Pretty Girls Make Graves. RFBC might hark back to a time when hardcore musi meant just that and in a time when most bands are content to emulate music that is (rather than has) balls that's pretty damn refreshing." - Alternative Ulster June 2006 "Punk/post-hardcore band Real Friends Break Chairs will unleash their brand of unpretentious and energetic music." - Instinct Festival 2006"Real Friends Break Chairs' 'Rome' EP is quite simply one of the best I've heard. They carve searching melodies out of violent, angular shapes and their sound constantly threatens to spin out of control but never does! "Stratosphere" arrives like a shotgun blast and embodies their appeal. Centrifugal guitar shards chime around Emmet Colton's frantic, searing vocal and all of it rests on a rhythm section that could power the national grid!" - Stephen McCauley - Electric Mainline, BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle ROME EPTracklist1.
