Some underground Dublin bands long since gone from the scene:

Synapse
The Septic Snails
Predator
Elastic Band
Freebase Psychosis
The Daft Bleeders
Evilife - nasty death metal name
Fricaseed Lung - for the pot smokers out there :p
Fifth Dominion (not sure if they are still about - good name though)
Nexus :cool: - my old band, we got radio play and did a lot of gigs. Turns out there is a Nexus in most countries in the world... there's even a bloody chain of hair dressers called Nexus (not cool!)... :confused:

Personally I think Synapse is a cool name - cool logo opportunity too with the whole nerve synapse firing...
