pulls are gavin duffy [ guitar/vocals ], ed kelly [ drums ], and peter maybury
[ bass, electronics, percussion]. they make angular noise/guitar-based
music. in november 2004 their début EP "summer songs" was released
on ninepoint recordings. this was followed in december 2006 by the simultaneous release of fluorescent 1, 2, + 3.
the wire said this about summer songs :
"the slow angular spiked guitar trudge of Dublin young pups and three piece Thread Pulls is built from feedback, dissonant chops and reedy vocals that put one in mind of Thurston Moore traversing a tar pit, laborious foot lift by laborious foot lift, guitar dripping black oily tendrils and bitumen clots, like a heathen god risen from a forbidden land."

the irish times said this about fluorescent 1, 2, + 3 :
"Collectors of individualistic music, therefore, will have a field day, while fans of music that is neither soft nor safe also may find something to treasure here". [ complete review here ]
summer songs and fluorescent 1, 2, + 3 are available to buy from their label website
[ www.9-pt.com ]. all of their CD releases
and some download-only material are available as free downloads. "summer songs" is also available to buy from the shop. you could also have a look at thread pulls myspace site.
