Initially self-released in 1975 by the Drumcondra, Dublin-based Cromwell, At The Gallop is a blistering, heavy, loud\u2019n\u2019lascivious ten track offering (thirteen in this expanded edition) of proto-metal infused street rock\u2019n\u2019roll from a time when Ireland was still under the sway of conservative showbands, quasi-religious, sentimental pop pap and traditional Irish music.<\/p>\n
Despite their cultural struggles, Cromwell crafted a creative and compact catalog\u2014five fuzzed\u2019n\u2019ferocious 45s and this footlong\u2014led by co-vocalist\/bassist Michael Kiely\u2019s come hither coo and fey Jagger pose\u2019n\u2019preen, the in-the-pocket drumming of Derek Dawson and minor-guitar hero moves of Patrick Brady, exercising taste, talent and towering mountains of fuzz\u2019n\u2019 fury as comfortably as greasy \u201870s raunch and rural modes. At The Gallop is a rare\u2014fetching upwards of 400\u20ac when the original LP does appear\u2014little heard classic in the pub\/ fried rock\u2019n\u2019roll \/proto-punk terrain.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmerging from the giant shadow cast by the greatness of Thin Lizzy, this obscure band with a venomous guitar attack, and dual vocalists that kick ass and take names, puts the \u2018ire\u2019 in Ireland and delivers with a sound that\u2019s not for the squeamish\u201d
