BALCONYTV.COM 7/11/2007 PRESENTED BY PAULINE FREEMAN Fresh from the success of their two top twenty singles, the Coronas are back with their new single "San Diego Song" which is a prequel to their stunning debut album "Heroes and Ghosts" - set for release on October 5th. A recent string of gigs in the Village, two sold out shows in Whelan's, and a spellbinding set on the 2nd stage at Oxegen, has seen this indie four-piece take the Irish music scene by storm. With influences including Jeff Buckley and the Beatles, the past year has seen the Coronas enjoy rave reviews, sign a record deal, and enjoy much regional and national radio airplay. All still just 22, the Coronas are quietly creating something special and it seems that if "San Diego Song" is any indication of what's to come on the album then it will be inevitable that they are set for big things. http://www.myspace.com/coronaband http://www.coronas.net Tune in again tomorrow!!! |

 | The IRA speak This is the provisional IRA putting forward their position. This was taken in the late '80 or early '90. __________ I'm a representative of the general headquarter staff of Óglaigh na hÉireann, the IRA. I don't see any merit discussing individuals as targets, sufficive to say that the people who legislate were the terror in Ireland. Know well that they all remain targets. And I'm sure that Mrs. Thatcher when she goes down upon her knees with a mirror checking underneat her car in the morning remembers the terror, she inflicted on Ireland. Our strategy is that through the effective use of guerilla warfare, and through continually maintaining an effective fighting force, we will eventually sap the political will of the British government to remain in Ireland. If the British government were prepared to show even one iota of leadership, and were to begin moves to disengage from this country, then the conflict would cease. |
