We have been hearing a lot about this Trad/folk band of late and with no wonder, they tick all the boxes. Fun, Talented and up for the mighty craic of it all...They are not in it for the debauched lifestyle, more so for the hell of it and for the lust of the music. Even though they can fairly find their way around the cover songs these past 10 years or more, its in the writing of original music that they relish in.
March 2011 see the band release their debut EP and it's about time! We think this band will be shaking the floor boards of many a venue over the coming months and its just what we need in times like these. Speaking of recession, the band are giving the EP away for free also! Once you pass on the good word on and spread the musical love that is. The title of the EP, is The way it used to be and it also has a skit video to match: not so much in the rude mode of their fellow Limerick allies; The Rubberbandits, but a more a to the point dig at the Irish government and the state they have the country in. ( Video below ) But do check out TECHNO TRAD, by far one of the best pieces of original music I have heard, ever, in fact. And where the hell did the accordion player come from, word has it he also uses a wha pedal on it at live gigs!

Official band statement:
: "We wrote The Way It Used to be, as we’ve seen what the government has done to the country. They spoonfed us and squandered our economies cash, so who are we to ask the people of Ireland to dig deeper into their pockets at such a trying time. We thought to opt to give this EP away for Free- All we ask is that you download a tune & pass the link on! Or follow us http://twitter.com/Acoustra, see you all at a gig in the future!"
