FOR THE LAST few months, the Central Bank we once knew and loved has been a construction site – and it will be for the foreseeable future too, while it’s being redeveloped into fancy restaurants and offices.
It’s hard to believe that it ever attracted hundreds of emos, scene kids and metalheads every weekend, who gathered to drink naggins, stand around with skateboards, or socialise with like-minded people who they had met at the last Kerrang tour or at a Coca Cola Blast Beat gig.
Central Bank and emo culture as we know it is long gone, but the memories are not. We put together this Spotify playlist to help you relive some of your most embarrassing years. We even included a handful of Irish emo bands that you definitely have forgotten about by now.
