User:Rick Irregular

Rick Irregular (born Poynton, Cheshire) is a musician, songwriter often described as dark, quirky, off-kilter and slightly paranoid. For this reason he has been compared to darker new wave acts such Joy Division, Wire, The Cure, Bauhaus, Magazine and Guided By Voices but with no derivative obviousness. Irregular has imaginative, simultaneously flippant and succinct lyrics, unashamed hooks and a striking vocal sound very much of his own. The Evening News described Irregular as Manchester's finest kitchen sink poet. His first bands debut EP was released on the Ugly Man Records label which also launched acts such as Black, Elbow and I Am Kloot. The EP was John Kennedy's X-Posure Big One on Radio X (previously XFM) in London.
