CLASH MAGAZINE COVER-MOUNT CD TRACK REVIEW...
The Prelude ‘moving to the country - never coming back’ (self released). One track advanced teaser marking the imminent arrival of the ensembles debut full length ‘moving to the country - never coming back’. Steadily building themselves a considerable reputation for crafting out rousing bourbon soaked roof lifting country blues growlers, the relocated from Derry to Liverpool six piece have known each other since childhood, call their guitars git-boxes and deftly tap in to a song craft bourn out of after hours tavern tipples and a traditionalist ear for a rollicking and wholesomely good knees up racket.
Indelibly rich with a classic Irish folk patronage ‘moving to the country - never coming back’ nods aplenty towards the early career work of the Pogues whilst finding itself dipped generously with punk inspired accents, chest beating sing - a - long lyrics and a hook line so raucously melodic and infectious its may you weep with joy. Ones we suspect worth keeping an expectant eye out for.

CLASH MAGAZINE "ONES TO WATCH" - SEPTEMBER 2007 (artist feature in Clash Magazine April 2008!)
"Any group who refer to the guitar as ‘the gitbox’ are always going
to be worth a listen. Describing themselves as ‘less rock and more
roll’, Liverpool’s The Prelude are a bewildering proposition.
Melding Dylan with the wildness of The Pogue’s they have crafted a
sound that is drowning in whiskey, rhythm and thought. Tight,
dextrous and laden with hooks it would be easy to get lost in their
unified Irish jamboree of big choruses and whimsical folk. However
beneath the collective euphoria lies true lyrical depth. Telling sad
stories with an expert eye, eloquent narratives rich in texture are
weaved; all pathos, melancholy and social observation.
Overwhelming live, it would be impossible to not be swept up in
their shamelessly high spirits. Not to mention the
all-for-one-hedonism of their after parties which are so raucous
they provoked a Neighbourhood Watch protest march."
