Whipping Boy: Heartworm

For Whipping Boy, two lines from their 1995 classic Heartworm resonate more than any others. Toward the end of “When We Were Young”, Fearghal McKee sings: “What might have been, When we were young.” 25 years on, those lyrics are sure to stir their share of emotions. Heartworm was going to be their big labelContinue reading “Whipping Boy: Heartworm”

He’s been in two bands which have also released material. He’s been through some shit too and comeContinue reading “Ryan Adams-1989”
