THE MATINÉE IDLES
BORDERLINE VINTAGE
OUT 2026
"Kevin Barry aka 'The Matinee Idles' has produced a beautifully soulful and odd record that burrows its way into your mind through its sheer relentlessness..."
---------------------
"Kevin Barry paints startling images through his mutated trip-hop/funk soundscapes and they keep you guessing..."
---------------------
the matinée idles live set up:
Kevin Barry Lead VOX/Guitar
Paddy Lyons Lead Guitar
Doug Sheridan Drums
Gordon Sheridan Bass
Ray Beggan Synth
"Take the time to listen to this record, give it its due and reap the rewards..."
----------------------
"It’s almost as if Ian Curtis has lived on and has been collecting obscure Parliament B-sides..."
-----------------------
"It goes beyond comparison, it sounds new and it sounds like breaking ground. It’s a joy – a slow burning and earned joy – but a joy nonetheless..."
---------------------
"..a record that must go down as one of the most different and artistic efforts to come out of Ireland in a long, long time..." - GoldenPlec.com
