The new music Fridays just keep coming and today we have a little treat for you. MUNKY has released their latest single “Closed Door Policy” two weeks ahead of schedule to keep us entertained during isolation. 2019 was a big year for the band as they released their debut EP, Un, Deux, Trois, Cat, and touredContinue reading “MUNKY: Closed Door Policy”

Post-Punk Revival Revival?

What does post-punk revival revival mean? Did post-punk fade away? Why is it even important? Was that a typo? These are all questions you might have asked yourself when you read the headline. What do I mean by post-punk revival revival? Let me explain. We all remember the heyday of the early 2000’s when post-punk/alt-rockContinue reading “Post-Punk Revival Revival?”

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”

Mick Flannery-White Lies

Recently I’ve been delving into the world of Irish music and going back over some of my favourite Irish artists work. Mick Flannery is an artist I hadn’t listened to in a long time so I started from the beginning with ‘Evening Train’ which I thought was a pretty solid debut record. ‘White Lies’ followed 3Continue reading “Mick Flannery-White Lies”

Wussy-Forever Sounds

Wussy came my way a few months back and are now as special to me as sunny days are to the Irish. I can’t get enough of them. From their debut ‘Funeral Dress’ to the most recent, and the subject of today’s review, ‘Forever Sounds’, Wussy have told tales of love, hardship and sometimes, TheContinue reading “Wussy-Forever Sounds”

Buckle Up

Car Seat Headrest took to the Olympia stage last Wednesday supported by Naked Giants. As fans will know, he (Will Toledo), has released 11 records to date and he’s still only 25! Among these records are the outstanding ‘Teens of Style’, ‘Teens of Denial’, ‘Twin Fantasy’ and ‘How To Leave Town‘. These records are usuallyContinue reading “Buckle Up”

TOTW-IDLES-Exeter

Never has there been an easier choice for Track Of The Week than ‘Exeter’. ‘Brutalism‘ is an explosive record all over and IDLES blunt and slightly comedic approach to writing actually sits well with the raging sound of the record. This is my favourite track off the record and if it strikes a chord in you,Continue reading “TOTW-IDLES-Exeter”

TOTW-Sonic Youth-Dirty Boots

I’ve never hidden my love for Sonic Youth and recently they’re all I can listen to. ‘Goo’ in particular is a record I keep going over, and it’s the opening track, ‘Dirty Boots’ that is our TOTW. A little more subtle than what fans of Sonic Youth were used to at the time, but stillContinue reading “TOTW-Sonic Youth-Dirty Boots”
