Liner Notes
Credits:

All lyrics and music by Ciarán Parnell, except track 4, which borrows a line from a song by Reuben Teskey. All design and illustration by Ciarán Parnell too. Almost all of the photographs here were taken by Karen De Lacey. One is by Luison Lassala. I took that picture of the two packets side by side to illustrate how ropey Finnish Jaffa Cakes are. Look at the difference in size! Boo.

All tracks recorded and mstered by Ciarán Parnell in Ciarán Parnell's bedroom from July to November 2007

I'd like to thank:

Half Shell Records. Karen for the pictures. Every promoter that's ever booked me for a show. My parents for putting up with the din from my room while I recorded this. Navidson Records for being top dudes and putting out acoustic stuff. Everybody at Anchor Youth Centre. Stimulus and the AGP band. Frank "The Yips" McMahon. Mr. Phelan in Chanel for the lunchtime acoustic sessions. McVitie's. The 24 hour Tesco in Artane where I bought the paperclips at some ridiculous hour. Everybody I've played a show with. Everybody who buys this CD.

Everybody who comes to shows and sings along, acts the dude, buys merch posts on Moshspace, plays in a band, designs flyers or otherwise contributes to the local scene. It's the best thing I've ever been involved in. Keept it up. MOSH HARD. D.B.H
