Welcome to the wonderful world of The Fewer, The Better!
Where a Limerick rock band who play something called psychedelic punk rock get to gig with the best of Irish and international talent in the last five years, where alien-fuelled tripped-out videos win awards in Germany whilst drummers fall off cliffs in Co. Clare but bounce back up again, where two full albums gain a legion of crazed and beautiful fans and songs about the scraping of the earth's atmosphere by the space children of an orphan race appear on CDs beside Kila, Republic of Loose and The Flaws. Where someone remembers that rock music is supposed to rock and nothing, O nothing is quite what it seems.
In the last few years The Fewer, The Better have gigged, recorded and shared CD space with some of the best bands of various generations. Thanks to 'em all! - Biffy Clyro, Bernie Torme and John McCoy (of Ian Gillan and Ozzy Osbourne fame), Chris Barron (of the Spin Doctors), Pierce Turner, New Model Army, Antiproduct, Oppenheimer, Fighting With Wire, Jaded Sun, Glyder, Delerentos, Fight Like Apes, Future Kings of Spain, Giveamanakick, The Immediate, Ronan Stone, Baby Jenx, 21 Outs and about a million others.

"The Fewer The Better are a really great band, with great original material that rocks, and very importantly in this business, really nice people. They rock, their songs rock, its only a matter of time before the world catches up. Look out for them, when its time its time and there will be no stopping them." Bernie Torme (guitarist with Ozzy Osbourne, Gillan, GMT)
"Imagine if Meg and Jack White were to have a bunch of long haired kids who were into Rush" Pierce Turner (Irish singer and songwriter legend)
“Watching The Fewer The Better, I'm reminded that it all comes down to three simple things: Rockin, drinking, & Volume. Even just the smallest mention of their name makes me want to get hammered, bang my head & shout "WHAT? - I CAN'T HEAR YOU - I'M AT A ROCK GIG." Robin Guy (Drummer with: Bruce Dickinson, AntiProduct, Rachel Stamp, Faith No More)
“My God the new single 'When It's Time' really rocks, absolutely great stuff" Alan Jacques (Presenter of Green and Live, Limerick 95fm)
"Complacent is not a word that should be associated with TFTBsince the last album this band has improved almost beyond recognition. Assured, competent and confident. The opening track 40,000,000, sets the tone that compelles you to sit and listen right through the next nine songsDo your ears a big favour and check out this band.The Fewer the Better? More like "The More
The Merrier". Roddie Cleere (Chairman of the Roisin Dubh Trust, presenter of Irish Nightlife, WLRfm, Waterford)
“For those who worry that rock music has become too tame and compliant, The Fewer The Better have come to remind us that some of the best rock music can also be fun. Somehow, they also find the time to write fine tunes while they're at it." Jackie Hayden (Hot Press)
“Buy this album and you will be cool!" Chris Barron (Lead singer with The Spin Doctors)
