Submit your own questions for an interview with Alex Calise

Saturday, January 23, 2010

1 Comment

I’m not really into the whole pop rock scene, but every once in a while you come across somebody fresh and quite talented that’s really worth it; it’s this case with Alex Calise. The guitarist/singer/songwriter doesn’t have complicated songs, just urban edgy in your face pop rock. So, we’re gonna do an interview with her, [...]

Ham Sandwich - Whelan’s, Dublin (7/11/09)

Sunday, November 8, 2009

And to think that some people are still deluded enough to believe that U2 are Ireland’s premier live band. I don’t know if it’s sheer media saturation that’s perpetuated that myth, or just widespread ignorance, but it needs to be stamped out post-haste. Bono can take his impossibly huge stage monstrosities and stick them where the [...]

Album name: Live from Austin, TX Artist name: Drive-By Truckers Genre: Rock n’ Roll Released: July 7 2009 Label: New West ZME Rating: 9/10 Website: drivebytruckers.com In the spirit of full disclosure, I should probably inform you of two things: 1 - I’m a hard marker. In the time I’m writing for this website, you’ll likely never see me give an album 10/10. [...]

Eagles of Death Metal - The Academy, Dublin (26/8/09)

Thursday, August 27, 2009

Oh yes it’s ladies night And the feeling’s right Oh yes it’s ladies night Oh what a night - Kool & The Gang Rock n’ roll is a wonderful, chaotic beast. Borne of a decadent tryst between blues and boogie, it’s grown from its simple, Chuck Berry beginnings into a many-tendriled monster, sprouting new bands and sub-genres from every possible [...]

Coldplay sell tickets for 1$

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

3 Comments

The British ‘rockers’ (really?) seem to have fallen in the dark cold claws of the global recession, with tickets for their latest tour being sold online as low as 1$. They’ve been touring the US since May this year and they’ve been bringing together quite a crowd, with about 50.000 people per show and they’re bringing [...]

Is Electrelane coming back?! An interview with the girls

Friday, July 24, 2009

1 Comment

Electreleane is on your party tracklist for sure. Their unique indie experimental rock has most definitely defined the last 10 years of your musical experience. They've been performing for such a long time, that it is impossible not to have heard songs like "Tram 21", "U.O.R." or "Bells". However, as you very well know, they've been on a break for two years now and apparently, [...]

Manic Street Preachers’ New Album & the Undying Love between Art and Controversy

Saturday, May 16, 2009

0 Comments

Provocative artwork? Surely not. That’s not blood on the cover of the new Manic Street Preachers album, just a boy with one side of his face more red than the other. Or to put it in more artistic terms a la frontman James Dean Bradfield, “a much more modern version of Lucian Freud-esque brushstrokes”. But either [...]

Kid Rock ‘On Fire’ In The Studio

Friday, March 20, 2009

Well, according to the man himself, he has it all figured out, which is why he’s setting the studio on fire. Bad news is this means he’ll delay his tour in order to finish the follow up to 2007’s double-platinum album “Rock N Roll Jesus.” “I really feel like I’ve kind of got this figured out,” [...]

Sleater-Kinney: Let’s Call It Lost Love

Saturday, March 7, 2009

On June 27, 2006, Sleater-Kinney announced they were going on “indefinite hiatus”. On August 12, they played their last show together in Portland, Oregon with Eddie Vedder as support. Almost three years later, I wanted to pay my respects to this great band by analysing their final, great stand - The Woods. I was lucky enough [...]

Bands to Watch: Robin Tymm

Monday, November 10, 2008

There are billions of unsigned and indie artists to be found online. Some are worth a listen, others are interesting but not quite there, but the vast majority is trying too hard to find the elusive new sound and thus burying themselves into experimental oblivion. Songwriters are always a penny a dozen, even cheaper than [...]
