Cactus World News

The Irish band Cactus World News received a boost from one of their compatriots before they even recorded their first album.

In 1985, the group sent a demo tape to Bono of U2 and he promptly brought the band into the studio to record their EP The Bridge.

Formed in Dublin, Ireland, Cactus World News would've received comparisons to U2 even without Bono's connection with the group.
