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”

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”
The National – Cherry Tree
‘Cherry Tree’ is an EP released by The National in 2004 in the run up to the release of the studio album ‘Alligator’. It’s a short one, as EP’s tend to be, and it was a clear indication of where The National were going following the release of the previous album ‘Sad Songs For DirtyContinue reading “The National – Cherry Tree”
Santogold – Santogold
‘Santogold‘ is the debut album released by Santigold. It came out in 2008 and was preceded by the single ‘Creator’. She was know as Santogold at the time but changed her stage name slightly since. A whole bunch of producers were part of the creation of the album, but Diplo is the only one IContinue reading “Santogold – Santogold”
Def Leppard – Hysteria
Def Leppard’s fourth album ‘Hysteria‘ is 30 years old this year. That’s older than myself. A few years ago I bought one of their greatest hits albums (can’t remember the name) because ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’ was on it. That then lead on to me playing it for a friend who also loved it,Continue reading “Def Leppard – Hysteria”
Ryan Adams-1989
Now, I’m a fan of Ryan Adams. I think he’s done some great work, a mix of country, rock, and heartbreak. He has a fantastic amount of work done which is something no one can take away. He’s been in two bands which have also released material. He’s been through some shit too and comeContinue reading “Ryan Adams-1989”
The xx- Berlin 25.02.17
When my girlfriend and I heard The xx had a new tour coming up to support the release of ‘I See You‘, we couldn’t wait to get our hands on some tickets. Trouble was, they didn’t announce an Irish gig (sad face). However, that wasn’t going to stop us and the chance to travel and […]
Director-We Thrive On Big Cities
Remember Director? They were an Irish band who released two albums before splitting, the debut We Thrive On Big Cities in 2006 and the follow up I’ll Wait For Sound in 2009. They came around at a time when the Irish music industry was making a name for itself, with the likes of The Coronas, DavidContinue reading “Director-We Thrive On Big Cities”
Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures
Joy Division’s debut ‘Unknown Pleasures‘ is regarded by some as one of the best albums ever released. When I first heard it I was in awe of the sound and feel of the album largely down to Ian Curtis presence. I was brought to the album through comparisons people had made between the music ofContinue reading “Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures”
Future Island- Singles
Future Islands are an American synth-pop band and ‘Singles’ was released in 2014. It was their fourth album and they have a new one coming out soon. The success and rise of the album was due in part to their appearance on ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’ where they played a rousing single, ‘Seasons’, leadContinue reading “Future Island- Singles”
