"Mind Blowing”The Boston Globe

“Skindive” sounds like Bjork if she were backed by Marilyn Manson circa Antichrist Superstar and the orchestra from Metallica’s S&M”Rolling Stone Magazine

“the listener is introduced to a dazzling shockwave of sound propelled by luscious string arrangements. Skindive will storm our shores and marketplaces with no mercy, leaving only dropped jaws on club floors and heads spinning off into oblivion”Digital Artifact

“Dublin-based Skindive attacks like a short-changed call girl: seriously intense, ferociously determined, but all the while beautiful and exciting”FHM Magazine

“Oh wow! Breeders meets Massive Attack as skindive kick in the Jams. This record has all the things that music and sex have in common, it’s hard, it’s intimate, it’s brutal, it’s tantalising, it’s trippy, it’s good every time you do it. Skindive are the only Irish band I’ve ever heard who might possibly give Bono’s boys a run for their money in the world domination stakes” Stephen RobinsonHotpress Magazine

Lluther

Lluther’s first album ‘Agents Of Empire‘ fuses the darkest and heaviest elements of rock with unsettling vocals and a sharp edge. The album was written and produced by Gerry Owens & mixed by Mark Carolan (Muse, The Cure, JJ72). Agents Of Empire was licensed to Daniel Heerdman‘s ‘Teifdruck Musik’ label in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. From that point, Lluther toured in Europe extensively.

Owens wrote the second album ‘Rise Of The Reptile‘ King’ as a concept album, based on a fictitious circus character called ‘The Reptile King’. Lluther set about focusing on the US market with ‘Rise Of The Reptile’ and toured there extensively.
