EP Review | Dorkiness is a Way of Life for The Thirds on Dork Matter

Barra Ó Súilleabháin Aug 17, 2018

Dork rock is a thing, and it’s older than you might believe. Weezer is often cited as the kings of the dork for their anti-macho, angsty-yet-poppy-as-can-be approach, and the fashion choices certainly help push the notion. For Oneonta, NY…

Single Review | IvoryHaus – ‘Clouds’

Barra Ó Súilleabháin Aug 15, 2018

Hailing from the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, IvoryHaus’s background elicits an air that’s fitting of the reclusive creative type. Life amongst pristine scenery and boundless nature has evidently had a profound impact on IvoryHaus’s…

Music Review | Jane in Space Channel Nine Inch Nails on Gorerunner

Barra Ó Súilleabháin Aug 3, 2018

What Greta Van Vleet is to Led Zeppelin, Jane in Space may be to Nine Inch Nails (NIN). Sure, both bands took a leaf (or five) from the books of their heroes, but it would be disingenuous to write them off as derivative and second-rate. In…

On countless occasions, you’ve probably heard musicians talk about how their musical influences are sourced from far and wide, meaning their tunes have buckets of novelty and fusion within. Probably just as often, your scepticism is right:…

Single Review | ‘Cheye Calvo’ by American High

Barra Ó Súilleabháin Jul 31, 2018

Catchy, politicised, and energetic, American High’s ‘Cheye Calvo’ is a welcome return for social-conscious punk rock. Named after a real individual who was wrongfully subjected to a brutal ‘no-knock’ drug raid, the song plants a black and…

Single Review | ‘Half of the Sun’ by Alya

Barra Ó Súilleabháin Jul 23, 2018

Alya’s eclectic tunes are emblematic of the well-travelled life she has led, starting in her homeland, Russia, and winding up in L.A with a detour through Japan amongst others. Her artistic background is similarly decorated, with a CV…

Barra Ó Súilleabháin Jul 16, 2018

Maxwell James may hail from Wales but he brandishes an American musical heart no less earnest than any other Nashville hopeful. His debut EP weaves the familiar threads of classic Americana – blues, country, a touch of rock – with, for…

Single Review | Greg in Good Company – ‘Carrie’s Song (Told Me to Sing)’

Barra Ó Súilleabháin Jul 10, 2018

Roots-revival acts have captured a loyal corner of the market over the last decade. A kneejerk analyst may scoff at them as artificial antidotes to the electronic drill of modern radio, but Greg in Good Company illustrate the substance…
