Possibly one of the best bands of the 1990's, yet horribly ignored outside Ireland.
Is anyone other than myself and Zero1986 fans?

For the uninitiated, Whipping Boy are a 90's indie rock group from Cellbridge who released three albums- Subamrine, Heartworm and a self-titled third effort. Their sound is best described as a hybrid of Bunnymen, Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine. Here's 2 videos so you get the idea

I'll up a comp or the two albums of theirs I have at some point, both(Heartworm and S/T) are essential listening.
