Album Review: Delusions of Grandeur is a fine debut from Irish noise-poppers Thumper

Amidst a noise driven by two drummers, Thumper have managed to create an album that's arresting and innovative 

Thumper — whose members are from Dublin, Cork, Dundalk, Limerick, and elsewhere — achieve a zen-like euphoria on 'Delusions of grandeur'. Picture: Ruth Medjber

★★★★☆

The effervescent punk-pop cranked out by Dublin’s Thumper is super-charged with contradictions.
