Protomartyr are a Detroit based post-punk band who with four records to their name, seem to do no wrong. Post-punk has always been my favourite genre and these guys, lead by vocalist Joe Casey, are reigniting the sound along with Savages, Preoccupations, Shame and to a certain degree, IDLES. These groups are making some incredibleContinue reading “Protomartyr-The Agent Intellect”

Preoccupations-Anxiety
I already know what my TOTW is, I might actually just slowly pick each track from the entire record. ‘Anxiety’ by post punk group Preoccupations. Don’t miss out, have a listen.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Fever To Tell
Definitely one of the coolest bands to follow in the 2000’s, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were one of the bands that everyone went crazy for, such as The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem and Interpol. Karen O had an incredible, bossy voice and their sound was an arty/punk mix. They were cool as f**k and played theContinue reading “Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Fever To Tell”
Protomartyr-Why Does It Shake
“False happiness is on the rise, see the victims piled high.” A song I’m absolutely hooked on these days, ‘Why Does It Shake’ by Protomartyr is our Track Of The Week. Coming in as the tenth track on their acclaimed third record ‘The Agent Intellect’, this track is a post-punk masterpiece. Treat yourself and haveContinue reading “Protomartyr-Why Does It Shake”
Simon & Garfunkel-Sounds of Silence
When I listen to Simon & Garfunkel it makes me a little sad in my shriveled heart that I wasn’t around in the 60’s to see them and all the other artists of the day. However, and this is a big however, I don’t feel their music has aged too much. It’s still better thanContinue reading “Simon & Garfunkel-Sounds of Silence”
Eye-C-E.
Every now and then an artist or group gets in touch with me on the ole Social Media to check out their music! It’s very rare but it’s cool when they do because it gives me a chance to hear new music and ask them a few questions. These artists are usually Irish, but notContinue reading “Eye-C-E.”
Big Thief-Capacity
Forgive me in advance if I get a little carried away with this one. Big Thief have shot out of nowhere to become one of my favourite bands at the minute. They’ve two records, ‘Masterpiece‘ released in 2016 which was quickly followed up by ‘Capacity’ mid 2017. It’s this record that I want to talk aboutContinue reading “Big Thief-Capacity”
Interpol-Antics
I was scrolling through some of my last reviews and it occurred to me I hadn’t reviewed an Interpol album in quite a while. In fact, the last one was May 2016! I guess time flies when you’re dead inside. So the time has come to spread the word and music of my favourite bandContinue reading “Interpol-Antics”
TOTW-IDLES-Exeter
Never has there been an easier choice for Track Of The Week than ‘Exeter’. ‘Brutalism‘ is an explosive record all over and IDLES blunt and slightly comedic approach to writing actually sits well with the raging sound of the record. This is my favourite track off the record and if it strikes a chord in you,Continue reading “TOTW-IDLES-Exeter”
The Academic-Tales From The Backseat
I don’t usually do reviews for pop bands from Mullingar, but I felt I needed to this time. Just kidding! We all love to see our own doing well and making a name for themselves and The Academic are doing just that. They’ve just released their debut, as in a matter of hours ago, titledContinue reading “The Academic-Tales From The Backseat”
