The Prongs have walked off the pages of John Fleming's lost 1980s novel The Now Now Express, having previously only existed on an imaginary cassette belonging to four imaginary ex-pats living in imaginary squalor in 80s London. But it could be anywhere the Irish have set foot in search of honest toil or existentialist insight.
Edgy post-punk music and literate, spoken lyrics provide mood music for inverse ambition. The Prongs are the fake stars of a sociological fresco. Literary. Post-modern. Post-punk. Poignant and catchy.
With music by Niall Toner jr and Words by Fleming, The Prongs present an epic new-wave sound-poem in honour of lost youth and cast-off innocence.
