Odd Morris gave us “What Might Be” earlier this year. A gritty alt-rock gem, it added Odd Morris to the ever-growing list of Irish bands to watch out for. That was back in March. Today they release their second single, “Lilac Leaves”, and Reclessreviews has the inside scoop behind the song just for you. We managedContinue reading “Odd Morris on new single “Lilac Leaves” and life lessons over pints”

Following the recent releases of Girl Band‘s sophomore record The Talkies, “Shoulderbaldes” takes our Track of the Week. Released a while back, it’s grown on me having heard it on the record in among the 11 other outstanding tracks. Check out the video below. Photo credit: Clash Magazine
MUNKY are back with a brand new banger!
Like a magician about to pull back the cloak or a bag of Haribo Star Mix, you just never know what you’re going to get with MUNKY. One of the more diverse (and fun) bands on the Irish music scene right now, MUNKY have been nothing but unpredictable in their short existence. And now they’reContinue reading “MUNKY are back with a brand new banger!”
There’s no ignoring Skinner’s new single
The Irish music scene has been flourishing of late, with many of our homegrown, DIY bands even making it on the international stage. Almost every week now we hear of another act coming through that “you just have to hear!” Some stand out more than others. And that’s where Skinner find themselves. Having only releasedContinue reading “There’s no ignoring Skinner’s new single”
Protomartyr: Night-Blooming Cereus
I’ve said it before (though not often enough) that Protomartyr are one of the leading post-punk bands in the world right now. The four albums they’ve released to date prove it, and if one song was to encapsulate their greatness, it may just be “Night-Blooming Cereus”. An absolute masterpiece, “Night-Blooming Cereus” highlights as much asContinue reading “Protomartyr: Night-Blooming Cereus”
INSIDEAWAVE: VILLAGE
Picking a Track of the Week (when I remember to) is easy when great songs come along. This week’s is another simple choice… INSIDEAWAVE released “Village” on August 9th and it’s gone down a treat since. And why wouldn’t it? It’s a wonderful indie ditty as sweet as sugar. Here’s a link to INSIDEAWAVE’s SpotifyContinue reading “INSIDEAWAVE: VILLAGE”
The Murder Capital: When I Have Fears
Love, loss, fear, friendship. Permanence. Or, the lack there of. The delicacy of life which you are only reminded of when what you thought would last forever is swept away like sand from the palm of your hand. Brutal, yes, but part of life. And The Murder Capital know it. Post-punk past and present WhenContinue reading “The Murder Capital: When I Have Fears”
Boy Azooga – 1, 2, Kung Fu!
Cardiff’s Boy Azooga are either a one-man band or a quartet depending on your music source. Either way, the music is what matters most. Having released 1, 2, Kung Fu! in 2018, Boy Azooga established themselves (I’m going with the group) as one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands in the UK. On 1, 2,Continue reading “Boy Azooga – 1, 2, Kung Fu!”
Egyptian Blue-Collateral
The latest of many up-and-coming post punk bands that I can’t stop listening to, Egyptian Blue, came to my attention through The Murder Capital. They recently released their debut EP Collateral Damage and that’s where we pull our Track of the Week from. “Collateral” was the first single released from the EP and is aContinue reading “Egyptian Blue-Collateral”
IDLES-Meat EP
As my third IDLES show draws nearer I’m back in full ear-blasting mode and rebellious mood. I’ll be seeing them on July 11th at Iveagh Gardens with support coming from two amazing bands: Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and The Claque. So ya, I’m pretty excited. On Meat, you can hear IDLES building the foundation ofContinue reading “IDLES-Meat EP”
