"It can't be categorized simply because it belongs to no particular genre but is part of many. There is something distinctly Irish about what the septet does, but other influences in their playing are also apparent: the near rapping of some of the vocal work; the rhythm work (similar to Larry Carlton at times); even a dash of Madness. The key to the dynamism of Kíla is not the individual parts of the band, but the whole sound they make..." - Jamie O'Brien, RootsWorld

The record label says:
Hailed as "the future of Irish music" by Ireland's Hot Press, Kíla plays Irish music like you've never heard it before. With their cracking instrumentals and Gaelic songs with influences of rap and pop, the Dublin-based jam band septet has exploded onto the Irish music scene. Right from the start, Kila was an underground cult favorite in Ireland, and their fan base grew quickly beyond the shores of home. Now their electrifying performances, led by charismatic front man Rónán Ó Snodaigh, draw thousands of fans. Kíla's repertoire consists entirely of their own material. All seven band members are talented multi-instrumentalists and composers who have worked with such cutting-edge artists as Dead Can Dance and Hector Zazou. The new and eagerly anticipated CD Luna Park is the band's ninth recording to date and fifth in a series of five exceptional studio albums of which all so far have gone Gold. Each of the album's 11 tracks is imbued with the sense of adventure and immeasurable depth that is the mark of Kíla's unique and exciting music.

Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
