Mr. Christmas (live)

New video made by Ian Lawton. Audio version is available on bandcamp.

New Live Video

Visit thumped.com to see and hear a fun recording we did last week in our rehearsal room. We recorded a live version of the Christmas themed song, Mr. Christmas. It sounds great considering this was the first time we played it fully as a band. We'd planned to shoot this on a couple of phones thrown about the place but Ian Lawton of Reasonably Shorts had other plans. He looked after the video which left us free to record the audio with whatever mics and broken stands we could cobble together.

News Update. April 2018


New single out this week. We are releasing our heaviest rocking two songs this week, get ready for NOT NOT and TITANIC. We have an awesome video for the song Not Not and because people who visit our actual website are special, here is a sneaky link.

Video. Disappointing Café

New Year

(Not a) Disappointing Radio Show

Eoghan Holland's Cans show on Galway's Flirt FM played Disappointing Café last week. First radio play we know of. Listen to the show in the enbedded player.

This was shot last weekend at our gig in Hanna's Bar in Navan. From load-in to load-out.

New Single Out Tomorrow (update: Out NOW)
Better late than never. We are sneaking out a new single on Friday 27th October. Two quality rock songs recorded on the same day as our last single, Disappointing Café and Thus Follows.



The Middle Ages drop a new single, 2 songs, 27 Oct 2017. Head over to our bandcamp page tomorrow and behold Disappointing Cafe and Thus Follows, two more instant classics from The Middle Ages' expanding catalogue of instant classics.

Disappointing Cafe is self explanatory, no metaphors here. The Middle Ages' dictator Anthony Mackey explains "one evening I sat down with nothing and said 'I'm not fucking getting up until I've written a song''.

Thus Follows is more complaint rock in the vein of "I Can't Die", a song written by the tyrant Mackey while in his previous band, Large Mound. It talks about the eventual death of art at the hands of greedy, so-called fans. "Meanwhile we're starving them and we're giving them the fingers".

The Middle Ages are Anthony, Chris, Greg and Carroll.
