Think Cheap Trick meets ZZ Top with a hint of Ramones and you're getting close. If “Damned If You Don't” was their thought-provoking debut musical statement “Not The One” sees the band move things in a more radio friendly direction. “Not The One” is a slight disagreement set to song. Two guys claim neither of them upset a particular woman dear to both of them. She might have been their lover, mother, sister - whoever.

It was recorded and engineered by Brendan Carthy at Orchard Studios, Enniscorthy and mixed and mastered by Frankie McClay at Einstein Studios, Antrim. The supporting video was shot at Electric Avenue in Waterford by Colin Shanahan of Digicol Photography and Media Productions. more
