Stoat

Diverse and adventurous indie pop/rock. Cormac Parle joined John Hearne's band in 1987, when they were one year apart in the same school, and the band has persisted since, despite all the usual upheavals you might expect in people's lives between their teens and their 30s and a total lack of anything that any but the kindest might call "success". The current lineup (with Stephen Whelan on drums) has been stable since 1999, and they've done all the usual stuff you might expect a band to do.
