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”

Big Thief in Whelans!

Absolutely delighted to have gotten two tickets to Big Thief who will play Whelans on April 1st. Just getting into these guys whose albums ‘Masterpiece’ and ‘Capacity’ are incredible. Pure lyrics and a natural rock sound that’s both genuine and fresh, I can’t seem to pull myself away from them. Check out the mesmerising ‘Mary’Continue reading “Big Thief in Whelans!”

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – Nonagon Infinity

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard are something of a music making machine. They’ve produced thirteen full-length records since 2012 and from what I’ve heard of them so far, they’re pretty bloody good. The records are wide ranging, going from psychedelic rock to jazz, folk and even surf music. One of the records that standsContinue reading “King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – Nonagon Infinity”

St.Vincent-Actor

I’ve known of St.Vincent since about 2012, so not long. However, I took a special interest in her after I had seen that she appeared on a National record. I did a little research both online and in-store and discovered that she had a few records, so I thought I’d treat myself. ‘Actor‘ was theContinue reading “St.Vincent-Actor”

Neutral Milk Hotel-In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

‘In the Aeroplane Over the Sea’ is a record that came to my attention only 2 months ago. I saw it on a review page on Instagram and figured I’d have a listen on Spotify to see what’s up. This isn’t what I would have always done because Spotify bothered me, but now I seeContinue reading “Neutral Milk Hotel-In the Aeroplane Over the Sea”

TOTW-Sonic Youth-Dirty Boots

I’ve never hidden my love for Sonic Youth and recently they’re all I can listen to. ‘Goo’ in particular is a record I keep going over, and it’s the opening track, ‘Dirty Boots’ that is our TOTW. A little more subtle than what fans of Sonic Youth were used to at the time, but stillContinue reading “TOTW-Sonic Youth-Dirty Boots”

Laura Ann Brady-Lie

Laura Ann Brady is one of Ireland’s most refreshing talents and funnily enough, an old friend. I’ve picked up on her music recently again and I’d like to talk about her new release, ‘Lie’. I’ve had it on repeat lately and I’m telling you about it because you simply have to take 6 little minutesContinue reading “Laura Ann Brady-Lie”
