The band has been tipped by 2FM’s Dan Hegarty as an act to watch in 2011.
The band are currently promoting their new single, Caramel Back, the perfect antidote to the winter blues, which can be heard on 2FM, Today FM and Phantom FM. Caramel Back is available as an MP3 download from iTunes and Amazon or as a limited edition CD from selected record stores. Plans are also taking shape for the recording of their debut album later this year.
Fred and Bob announced themselves in 2009, with the release of their demo Hex You, which received widespread airplay. The demo was featured on BBC Introducing on BBC 6 Music as well as 2FM, Phantom FM and Today FM. Fred and Bob ended a jam-packed 2009 with a live session in RTE Studio 8 for the Dan Hegarty show on 2FM.
In May 2010 the band released their debut EP On a Good Day, which was recorded by Ian McNulty (who has recently worked with Ambience Affair & John, Shelly and the Creatures). Lead track Gluey Fingers got regular airplay from Dan Hegarty of 2FM and has also featured on the Dave Fanning show, Rory McConnell's BBC Radio 1 show and RTÉ’s MNS. Fred and Bob have also recently drawn attention internationally, with tracks being featured on radio in the US and Holland.
Some people say the nicest things:
Dan Hegarty (2FM):
“Dublin's Fred & Bob are not a duo just in case you're wondering. They do however have a habit of writing the kind of songs that The Breeders, Sleater Kinney and Veruca Salt would have given their eye teeth for during the 90s! It's not all retrospective though, these guys and girls have an energy that is so infectious.”
Jim Carroll – The Ticket (Irish Times):
"making fuzzy, punky, energetic pop with loads of likeable throwback '90s indie edges. New EP 'On a good day...' will make you twist and shout!"
HotPress Magazine:
"Imagine a slightly roughed-up Jades mashed with a nastier Blondie and you're getting close. In Emma Greenhalgh they have a fearsome vocalist..."

Shut Up And Die
Fred and Bob Lyrics
Bought a camera just to stop making movies
I don’t know how to rap but I’m here now so sue me
Fake it till you make it’s what I’m freaking doing
But I always fucking quit when my shit starts booming
I always fucking feel like the worst in the room
I never really feel like I know what to do
I always fucking feel like I need to be new
And the past escapes my mind as I forget all my roots
Where did I come from where did I go
Alone in my thoughts just a red eyed hoe
I’m proud of who I am but I hate my soul
I hate being lazy and I hate being broke
I haven’t made a video in 2 fucking months
It stresses me out I don’t wanna be done
I’ve scrapped my latest films creativity none
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve truly had fun
I’m not depressed I don’t think that’s my problem
Loud ass man in my head I don’t know how to stop him
My brain just keeps rushing and my heart just keeps throbbing
I wanna be prescribed something so I can calm him
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Stop talking to me
But I’m talking to myself so I’m asking me to leave
Shut up
Like actually jeez
If you wanted to talk just ask say please
I can’t think with all this noise I can’t see through all this fog
Empty nothingness pollutes my body like smog
I can’t act with any poise I’m a rabid fucking dog
In social situations I swear my brain becomes a log
I always think I have no friends, I know it’s not true
It’s really hard to think people care about you
It’s really hard to feel anything but goo
It’s really hard sometimes to just get up and move
I lay dead on the futon and watch one piece
When no one else is luffy’s there for me
I put a whole ass suit on for an online speech
Zoom classrooms make me wanna scream
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up, stop talking to me
But I’m talking to myself so I’m asking me to leave
Shut up I’m begging you please
All these voices in my head buzz around like bees
Shut up, stop talking to me
I talk to myself more than other human beings
Shut up like actually jeez
If you wanted to talk make it lyrics like these
I don’t know how to rap but I’m here now so sue me
Fake it till you make it’s what I’m freaking doing
But I always fucking quit when my shit starts booming
I always fucking feel like the worst in the room
I never really feel like I know what to do
I always fucking feel like I need to be new
And the past escapes my mind as I forget all my roots
Where did I come from where did I go
Alone in my thoughts just a red eyed hoe
I hate being lazy and I hate being broke
I haven’t made a video in 2 fucking months
It stresses me out I don’t wanna be done
I’ve scrapped my latest films creativity none
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve truly had fun
I’m not depressed I don’t think that’s my problem
Loud ass man in my head I don’t know how to stop him
My brain just keeps rushing and my heart just keeps throbbing
I wanna be prescribed something so I can calm him
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Stop talking to me
But I’m talking to myself so I’m asking me to leave
Shut up

Shut up like actually jeez
