Watch Sounds Of System Breakdown's Irish drag queen-featuring new music video

While it didn’t appear in my top 10 Irish albums of the year so far (hey, it’s been a good year already), Sounds Of System Breakdown’s Nomad album is a fine collection of songs which ably match “rock dynamics and electro sounds.”

The new video for the lead track ‘Neon Contrails’ by Fail Safe Films features four Irish drag queens Blathnaid McGee, Candy Warhol, Cheryl Love and Beau Peekaboo on a DART day trip to the bowling alley and the fairground.
