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!
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”
IDLES-Brutalism
So I’ve been listening to IDLES and ‘Brutalism’ for quite a while now and I’ve been dying to bring you a review because these guys are by far the most exciting band in Britain right now. This LP expands on the work and persona they had built for themselves with 2015’s EP ‘Meat‘. With ‘Brutalism‘,Continue reading “IDLES-Brutalism”
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – The Olympia Theatre 23.02.18
It was a few months ago that a friend recommended King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard to me. I’d never heard of them and going by the name I figured they would be pretty out there. They are. However, it’s fantastic to hear their blend of hard/progressive/psychedelic rock in 2018 and they do it soContinue reading “King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – The Olympia Theatre 23.02.18”
Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Fever To Tell
Definitely one of the coolest bands to follow in the 2000’s, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were one of the bands that everyone went crazy for, such as The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem and Interpol. Karen O had an incredible, bossy voice and their sound was an arty/punk mix. They were cool as f**k and played theContinue reading “Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Fever To Tell”
