Every once in a while a band comes along who create a buzz without having dropped a record.

Cruiser-Cruiser
Cruiser are a limerick band who’ve been releasing absolute belters for a few years now. Somehow, despite their volume, I’ve managed to miss out on them until recently. However, through the release of the single No More Parties they’ve become impossible to ignore. While No More Parties is a fantastic single, today we’re going to talk aboutContinue reading “Cruiser-Cruiser”
MUNKY-Un, Deux, Trois, Cat
Calling all fans of, well, all music I guess, MUNKY have recently released their highly anticipated debut EP Un, Deux, Trois, Cat!

Kurt Vile-Childish Prodigy
I was one of the lucky ones who got to see Kurt Vile live at Vicar Street late last year. If you’ve heard his most recent record, Bottle It In, you might get the impression that he’s pretty laid back. That wasn’t the case on the night however. Vile was relentless during his set, tearing from oneContinue reading “Kurt Vile-Childish Prodigy”
Ciarán Moran Releases Debut EP
Dublin wordsmith Ciarán Moran has today released his debut EP & I Haven’t Even Started Yet. Featuring 5 tracks, the EP, for reclessreviews anyway, is an improvement for an artist who’s songs are influenced by both personal and social issues. His distinctive accent also sets him apart, forming a correlation between his music and hisContinue reading “Ciarán Moran Releases Debut EP”

The National Announce New Album
The National have just announced the release of their 8th album I Am Easy To Find, which is due out this in May, along with a trailer. I’m a sucker for the National, as I’ve said several times, so it’s going to be a long, painful wait to get my hands on the album. However, accompanyingContinue reading “The National Announce New Album”
