It seems our usual 'single of the week' segment has had a slight change this week, as the song that we can't get out of our heads hasn't infact been released as a single. Instead we dive into the world of Northern Irish songstress 'Silhouette' and a track from her debut EP 'Can't Keep Up'. Having gained phenomenally high levels of critical appraisal through the title track of her EP (and its su...
As the sun looks to finally set on the musical heritage of Draperstown's Cellar Bar, the feeling that the end of an era is finally upon us has grown ever more prominent, in a town steeped in musical history. After Patrick Glasgow's decision to call time on the famous 'Glasgowbury Festival', it seems the town that has for so long been at the epicenter of Northern Irelands local music scene has...
Limerick born 'Moscow Metro' are clearly a band determined to follow their own vision and remain out of the main stream. With a name derived from the tragedy of the Moscow City suicide bombings of 2010 and lyrical inspiration found in the social environments of modern life, it's clear 'Moscow Metro' know exactly what they want to achieve musically.

Far from suffering the dreaded 'Second album syndrome', "Ghost" see's this Tired Pony begin to stretch it'...
'Take Shelter' is out now...
The art of the 'supergroup' is incredibly difficult to get right. If you look back at the long list of collaborations and pairings of musicians, who have came together to record an album, there are, ofcourse, a few success stories (Gary Lightbody's 'Tired Pony' or Damon Albarns 'The Good The Bad and The Queen' for example) but many more have failed to live up to t...
Holograms are rising up, back on the streets, with their brand new single, which thankfully is not at all cheesy like the a fore quoted Survivor single. This new track is the third demo released by the Belfast alternative-rock new comers since they started in early 2012. The band, who boast a distinctly unique sound sustained throughout three releases, create a dark atmosphere that contrasts...
