    Unflinchingly stoic and resilient to the last, its 12 pieces are all carefully placed together consecutively like an ill-fitting jigsaw. It's a record that demands to be heard in its entirety, preferably in one sitting. Yet once digested, it never disappoints from thereon in.

    It’s an intensely, intentionally stressful listen, the occasional victory of thumping, clanking grooves over the scraping, grating racket offering an illusion of normality before snatching it away again.

    The Talkies is rough around the edges, is of a debased, primal nature, yet is incredibly on-point with the unsettling atmosphere it communicates. Girl Band is officially the crown jewel of Irish punk, if a beautifully horrific crown jewel.
