Happy New Year

A few more to look out for next year

Work Drugs

RollerSkaters

Craft Spells

Papercuts

Porcelain Raft

Digging all these bands. Let me know what you think

Big things next year?

The Altered Hours

Just heard these lads 3 weeks ago and must say I'm really liking them. There's a cool throw back to the 60's with this psychedelic band. Hopefully they play Dublin next year. Download their EP for free here.

Hush War Cry

Like The Altered Hours, HWC hail from Cork as well. I really cant wait for their EP to come out. I've seen the lads twice in the last 3 months and I can tell you they are in for a busy year. Check out a couple of their tunes here and watch out for them next year.

French Films

This is a young band that still have some maturing to do both lyrically and musically but if you like short catchy pop songs with an 80's twist then these are for you. I will certainly be keeping my eyes on this band next year

Tame Impala

Stumbled on these these by accident (looking for another band on Youtube)

Judging by the Youtube views, they're hardly a "new band". However they are new to me and I am certainly digging their sound which can only be described as psychedelic groove rock. I look forward to hearing more of their shit next year

The Light House and the Whaler


 Im really digging this band. Apparently this song is off a car advert but I cant say I recognize it from the tv. Anyway, its a decent track. I look forward to purchasing their record next year.

Josh T. Pearson - Woman, When I've Raised Hell

Don't usually go for the deep south country music but this lad gave me shivers.

John Lewis ad

Some chick does a version of "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want", on the new John Lewis ad. To her credit, she doesn't do a bad job. Still, nothing like the original. 2 minutes of pure bliss. Take it away Mozza 

This song just came into my head

What a tune!!!!! That is all!

Camille

Just some lovely Sunday listening, enjoy

Death Cab for Cutie

Don't know much about this band, apart from the fact that they have been floating about for years now and have released no fewer than 7 albums. Heard this tune recently and I have to say, I'm looking forward to buying the album. Beauty of getting into a band late is that they usually have a back catalogue that you can get stuck into right away, instead of waiting  a year, 2 years for the new record. Anyway, enjoy.

Fell free to leave a comment

The Drums

Just bought The Drums new record " Portamento". After the first few listens I have to say, fucking class.

Stand out tune so far is Money and it goes a little something like this

Enjoy

The Minutes

Fucking love this track. Going to see the boys on Saturday night in the Mercantile as part of HWCH, can't wait!

Waterford Geniuses

Watch out for this quality band, O Emperor. The harmonies would give Fleet Foxes a run for their money. So good in fact that they almost reduced my girlfriend to tears, in a good way of course when we first saw them perform live. The musicianship is outstanding. The lead guitar player is one of the best I have seen.  The vocals, perfect and they have not one but two lead singers. The song writing is top notch too. They gel together so well. Their debut album is called Hither Thither and peaked at number 6 in the Irish charts. I see big things for these boys from Waterford. One feels an appearance on Jools Holland is imminent. I look forward to seeing them live again soon.
