Album Notes

"...another chance to salivate all over Neal Calderwood's searing guitars & Audrey Gallagher's sweet vocals...this woman has a fabulous voice...a welcome treat from one of the finest Irish bands of the last decade..." -HOT PRESS (UK)

In 1995-96 Scheer released 3 EPs and their widely acclaimed album 'Infliction' for the 4AD label, while touring extensively through Europe, Canada and the US. The album and touring built a following that lobbied tirelessly for the release of this session once 4AD dropped it from their schedule.

The new release, appropriately titled '... and Finally' , was recorded at Rockfield Studios (Ash, Stone Roses, Pink Floyd) with producer Cliff Norrell (Henry Rollins, REM, Madonna). It features the lineup that remained constant through the band's history: Neal Calderwood and Paddy Leyden on scorching guitars, Peter Fleming on bass, Joe Bates on drums and honey-voiced Audrey Gallagher providing a delicious counterpoint to all the noise.

'...an impressively consistent record...both tunefully abrasive & abrasively tuneful at the same time...this album casts a quick glance back to see just what might have been' -BBM
