One of the catchiest songs you’re ever likely to hear, Kurt Vile’s ‘Pretty Pimpin’ comes from his sixth record ‘b’lieve i’m goin down’ and it’s our Track Of The Week. That record is a few years old now but I don’t think it could ever actually age! Check out ‘Pretty Pimpin’ below. Photo Credit:Continue reading “Kurt Vile-Pretty Pimpin”

Joy Division-Closer
I recently listened to Peter Hook’s ‘Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division’ and it made me fall in love with Joy Division again. They were one of the first bands I loved and they pretty much influenced every sound I went after. I’ve always thought Ian Curtis was a genius and the question of “what couldContinue reading “Joy Division-Closer”
Angel Olsen-White Fire
I only just stumbled upon Angel Olsen and ‘White Fire’ from ‘Burn Your Fire For No Witness’ blew me away. That entire album is actually brilliant, sort of reminded me of Joni Mitchell. Check out the track below! Photo Credit: MeetFactory
Damien Rice-Woman Like A Man
Throwing it way back to an early Damien Rice track for our Track Of The Week. Appearing on a B-Sides record, ‘Woman Like A Man’ is a prime example of Rice’s raw lyrics and his take on the relationship between men and women. Check out the song below!
AM-Arctic Monkeys
‘AM’ marked a return to form for Arctic Monkeys. After the release of ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ and ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, I felt their music took a bit of a dip. They tried some new stuff which didn’t work out, even their records cover art was slated at one point.Continue reading “AM-Arctic Monkeys”
Gimme Som More!
Jay Som is an artist I’ve only just picked up on because I’ve seen that she will be supporting The National this summer when they play in Dublin. Other acts playing include Lisa Hannigan, John Grant and Preoccupations, so it’s sure to be a hell of a day! ‘Everybody Works’, Som’s second album, is onContinue reading “Gimme Som More!”
Who, what, whenyoung?
whenyoung are an Irish band I’ve recently discovered on Spotify. Yes yes I know, Spotify. It works, who knew? Anyway, they’ve only four tracks up there for us to hear but for the most part, this indie/punk trio are pretty good. They also have a cover of ‘Fairytale Of New York’ up there that featuresContinue reading “Who, what, whenyoung?”
MGMT-Me and Michael
I’m loving the new MGMT record ‘Little Dark Age’ which is full of pop hits. I’ve chosen ‘Me and Michael’ as this weeks’ TOTW because of its 80’s synth sound and super catchy lyrics. Give it a listen!
Superorganism-Superorganism
Superorangism are something of a super modern, multinational, internet loving indie-pop wonder. Their 8 members range in age from 17 to 32 and come from England, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. Orono Noguchi, the groups lead singer, originally interacted with the rest of the group over Skype and added vocals to songs thatContinue reading “Superorganism-Superorganism”
IDLES-Brutalism
So I’ve been listening to IDLES and ‘Brutalism’ for quite a while now and I’ve been dying to bring you a review because these guys are by far the most exciting band in Britain right now. This LP expands on the work and persona they had built for themselves with 2015’s EP ‘Meat‘. With ‘Brutalism‘,Continue reading “IDLES-Brutalism”
