No, it’s new Bleeding Heart Pigeons album day, and it’s a great Friday to be alive. The guys have been busy. They’ve hiddenContinue reading “Bleeding Heart Pigeons release enthralling new album, Stir”

Shady Nasty: Bad Posture
A few weeks ago, Shady Nasty released their single “AA”, which I had on repeat and covered. Today they’ve released their latest EP Bad Posture, and I’m excited to tell you about it. If EPs are intended to lay down a marker, Shady Nasty makes a hell of a statement. Brooding, brash and bruising, BadContinue reading “Shady Nasty: Bad Posture”

The wait is finally over. Dundalk’s David Keenan has released his long-awaited debut album A Beginner’s Guide to Bravery after a string of successful EPs, and reclessreviews couldn’t be happier.

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.

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!”
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”

Chilliwack-Dreams, Dreams, Dreams
ANOTHER little review just for you! Chilliwack are a band I kind of got into while I lived in Canada. I’m pretty sure it was Rock 101 because they were always on wherever I worked, and Chilliwack, being Canadian, got a lot of air time. They’ve a few hits and you’ve probably heard some ofContinue reading “Chilliwack-Dreams, Dreams, Dreams”
Angel Olsen-My Woman
I find a lot of my new music through bands I already follow. I also find this new music in places I would have turned against in the past such as Spotify and Instagram. Before, I would have really only bought new music if I had heard a song I liked or if a bandContinue reading “Angel Olsen-My Woman”
Foals – Total Life Forever
‘Total Life Forever’ is English band Foals second album released in 2010. The band said that the album’s sound can be described as “the dream of an eagle dying“. Oook then, no drugs involved here.
