Exhilarating, dangerous and downright entertaining. " - ALL GONE POP "...uncompromising live presence with fearless youth energy bolstered by the kind of raw noise that wouldn’t sound out of place on an Albini-recorded Sub Pop compilation." - LIVE4EVER, DANIEL ROBINSON Abandcalledboy are trio from Northern Ireland.
