Albyno Rhino
Catriona Gray

Hailed by Hotpress as “the band to watch out for for the rest of the year” and the now-defunct NME Ireland as “one of the finest raw talents for 2007” Albyno Rhino’s indie-ska stylings have been getting them a lot of attention over the last year or so. I met guitarist/vocalist Seb and drummer Paul on a windswept Fitzsimon’s roof terrace to see what they’ve been getting up to of late.

“At the moment we’re getting back to the chop shop, fine-tuning some of the old songs”, Seb informs me. “We’re writing better songs too”, Paul continues, “we’ve got a much better idea now of what we want to write.” The band have already released two singles “Wasters in the End” and “Masks” on Top Dollar Records and are hoping to record some new tunes early next year in Grouse Lodge Studios (where Muse, Bloc Party and REM, among others, have previously worked).

Seb is surprisingly young for the guitarist in such an experienced band, having just done his Leaving Certificate last June. Paul, on the other hand, is a few years older, but is a more recent addition to Albyno Rhino. “I had just left my old band when these guys lost theirs. I learned all the new songs and found out there was a gig in two days”, he laughs. “It went really well, though”, Seb adds, “I think we’re a lot tighter now, a lot more committed.”

So on the back of the success they’re starting to enjoy, are there any tales of rock n’ roll debauchery to divulge? “************ **** ******* ******* * ***** *** ******* **** ****** ***************** **** *** *** ****** ***** **** * ** ** *** ****”, Paul tells me, perhaps wishing that there was more to tell, or, more likely, that there was more he was allowed to tell. Either way, they’ll have plenty more opportunities ahead of them. Expect some live shows in the near future and if their past performances are anything to go by, they should definitely be worth checking out. Albyno Rhino are most certainly ones to watch.
