Angel Olsen-White Fire

I only just stumbled upon Angel Olsen and ‘White Fire’ from ‘Burn Your Fire For No Witness’ blew me away. That entire album is actually brilliant, sort of reminded me of Joni Mitchell. Check out the track below! Photo Credit: MeetFactory

The Sweet Sound of Anarchy

I say anarchy because the Shame gig last Saturday night was totally devoid of any rules or guidelines as to how a gig is meant to go down. In fact, lead singer Charlie Steen’s reassurances that it was “just entertainment” and encouragement to just “let go, smile and have fun” only spurred on the already excitedContinue reading “The Sweet Sound of Anarchy”

Big Thief Steal the Hearts of Many

The Big Thief gig at Whelans on April Fools day was one of those gigs where everything fell into place. Big Thief are an act for the people in that their music is relatable. So, the small stage setting of Whelans was the perfect place for them to connect with their adoring fans, and viceContinue reading “Big Thief Steal the Hearts of Many”

Damien Rice-Woman Like A Man

Throwing it way back to an early Damien Rice track for our Track Of The Week. Appearing on a B-Sides record, ‘Woman Like A Man’ is a prime example of Rice’s raw lyrics and his take on the relationship between men and women. Check out the song below!

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”

Gimme Som More!

Jay Som is an artist I’ve only just picked up on because I’ve seen that she will be supporting The National this summer when they play in Dublin. Other acts playing include Lisa Hannigan, John Grant and Preoccupations, so it’s sure to be a hell of a day! ‘Everybody Works’, Som’s second album, is onContinue reading “Gimme Som More!”

Who, what, whenyoung?

whenyoung are an Irish band I’ve recently discovered on Spotify. Yes yes I know, Spotify. It works, who knew? Anyway, they’ve only four tracks up there for us to hear but for the most part, this indie/punk trio are pretty good. They also have a cover of ‘Fairytale Of New York’ up there that featuresContinue reading “Who, what, whenyoung?”

MGMT-Me and Michael

I’m loving the new MGMT record ‘Little Dark Age’ which is full of pop hits. I’ve chosen ‘Me and Michael’ as this weeks’ TOTW because of its 80’s synth sound and super catchy lyrics. Give it a listen!

Superorganism-Superorganism

Superorangism are something of a super modern, multinational, internet loving indie-pop wonder. Their 8 members range in age from 17 to 32 and come from England, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. Orono Noguchi, the groups lead singer, originally interacted with the rest of the group over Skype and added vocals to songs thatContinue reading “Superorganism-Superorganism”

The Gloaming-National Concert Hall 6.3.18

This was a gig I couldn’t wait to see. I got the tickets the day they came out and I was lucky to be one of the first because it sold out in under 2 hours. The wait was long but it was so worth it. I’ve a few shows lined up this year butContinue reading “The Gloaming-National Concert Hall 6.3.18”
