Guernica - Auditorium

 

 

GUERNICA

Auditorium

2025 Not On Label

 

Notes :

For me, one of the most anticipated albums in the last few years was ''Duke Street'', unreleased album from late 80's Dublin indie rock band Guernica. They released three great 12'' singles ''Orange And Red'', ''Deep Sea Diving'' and ''Humming Of The Engine'', all previously posted on the blog. Before few years i've read somewhere that band recorded album titled ''Duke Street'' in 1988 and that band members planning to release it.

Finally, waiting is over, ''Auditorium'' is amazing collection of tracks from their 3 singles, Duke Street album and unreleased tracks and demos.

First half of the album is compilation from their three 12'' singles & unreleased tracks.

Second half features recordings from their unreleased LP from 1988.

Notes :

Promo release for the ''Clear Skin'' cd single, Apparently this 12" promo was released without the approval of the band, which resulted in Insides leaving Guernica. Limited to 700 copies.

 

Insides are a two-piece consisting of J. Serge Tardo (guitar, samples, programming and piano) and Kirsty Yates (vocals and bass guitar), both formerly of Earwig.

Guernica - Orange And Red EP

 

 

GUERNICA

Orange And Red EP

1987 Idol Records

 

Notes :

Guernica was an Irish indie rock band active from 1985 since 1989. Guernica took a heavy New Order/Joy Division influence and mixed it with indie/C86/jangle-pop sounds.

They released three singles: Deep Sea Diving (1987), Orange And Red EP (1987) and Humming Of The Engine EP (1988).

Debut album titled ''Duke Street'' was recorded in 1989, but it was never officially released.

I've heard some news that this album finally will be released in the next few months. Great news for the fans of this fantastic band, including me. There is no official release date, i hope it will be by the end of the year. If i receive any info, you will be updated.

 

01. Orange And Red

02. The Queen Of Our Country

03. Missionary
