  • On today's episode I will be chatting to indie alt folk artist, Tokoloshe!

    I first met Tokoloshe in Sin E (adding to the ever extending list of guests on this podcast through that bar) and after his performance we spent the night having a lovely chat about how awesome Sepultura are and how he should come on the podcast. So it was fantastic to finally have him on, especially since we'll be chatting about his lovely latest single, 'Cosmic Holiday', which was released last week on October 7th.

    The conversation proceeded to go down many avenues, including where the project gets it's name from, BRAT (of course), Aliens (which take a large feature in Tokoloshe's music), AI and it's future use in creative circles, Tool, Mastodon and the music in South Africa.

    Tokoloshe is going to preforming plenty in the near future so be sure to catch them live wherever you can!

  • Today I am joined on the podcast by Rob and Leigh of Idle Discourse!

    The plan of this episode was to chat to the lads about their fantastic EP, Volume 2, which was released in July, featuring songs like 'Caveat', 'Demonstrate' and 'Astra', all of which have remained on the top of my Repeat list for the duration of the summer - We kind of stuck to the plan.

    In keeping with tradition from the last time the band we're on, this podcast went down many, many tangents such as Dark Souls, Transformers, Linkin Park, Wrestling and Leigh's great adventure at Download.

    Always a pleasure to be chatting to the lads, was a tremendous amount of fun to record this episode, hope you enjoy it!

    Ciara is an artist who is fascinated by club culture and the details of the dancefloor, which is used to inform her fantastic 'Balter' project.

    We'll be chatting about what inspires her work, the Irish art scene, our time in NCAD, Dublin's Graffiti scene and a whole bunch more.

  • Today I am joined on the podcast by Carlow's own, MACRUA!

    We will primarily be discussing MACRUA's latest single, released on the 20th of September. Titled “Intro to My Mindset” it marks an interesting and exciting shift in genre mixing clever lyrics with equally memorable and catchy melodic motifs.

    Inspired by heavy hitters Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino and Eminem the track tackles MACRUA’s fears of going deeper into the music industry, with his goal to retain his humility. Sure to resonate with the Indie rap massive, the track will also appeal to those who appreciate and admire genuine musical talent

    On top of all this, we'll be about MACRUA's earliest influences, his musical theatre background, Tenacious D and many fun avenues this conversation went down.

    'Intro Into My Mindset' is available now to stream everywhere!

    We'll be chatting about Blue Slate's latest release, 'Beaker' which is to be released tomorrow and marks a new sound and direction with the band's music.

    On top of this, I'll be chatting to John about how he initially got into music, the ridiculous story of where the title for 'Beaker' even came from, how punk icons used to piss the general public off, American Hardcore, Henry Rollins and the love for the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

    Myself and John have been trying to get this podcast organised for what seems like over a year now so it was fantastic to finally get it recorded and John certainly did not disappoint.

    Primarily in this episode we'll be chatting about Taylor's latest release, 'Someone Had to Stay', which was released in May of this year. Produced by Matt Winston, the five-track EP explores the theme of emigration from the perspective of those who remain. From the sombre ‘Someone Had to Stay’, the jaunty ‘22 & Feelin’ Sorta Aimless’, and the cathartic ‘London’, the EP showcases Byrne’s diverse musical capabilities and ability to weave cohesion through chaos.

    On top of this, we'll be chatting about his upcoming singles 'Bedroom Plan' and 'Me and Marie', the amazing story of how he joined The Social Celtic Club and being with the band, amongst many other stories like the Arkham Games and the scramble for Oasis tickets.

  • Today I am absolutely to be joined on the podcast by Evan Prendergast of WORN OUT, to chat about the band's new EP, 'Low', set to be released on the 30th of August.

    The first release off the EP, a song called 'Deeper', released in July, sets up this EP up as another fantastic edition to the band's back catalogue.

    I've been following this band since their first releases and they've remained a band who consistently push the boundaries of their music with each explosive release and the pandemonium of their live shows sets them up as one of my favorite bands out there to go see.

    Evan also plays drums with awesome band that is UNCULTIVATES and runs Dead Cult Promotions so needless to say we have plenty to chat about in this episode.

    You can pre-order 'Low' now on Vinyl and tape as well pick up tickets to see the guys live on their release tour!

  • Welcome back to another episode of the podcast!


    Today I'm joined by my buddy Declan Beare for their second appearance on the podcast.


    Last time Declan was on the podcast it was to talk about their band True Home with Charlie Appleby but this time around we'll be chatting about a slew of project's Declan is currently involved on which include the third album of hardware electronic synth project under the name 'The Reverb Master', their own solo material, their collaboration project with the super talented songwriter/musician D.Cullen and the True Home collaboration with the mighty Fornoth. We somehow managed to cover all of that within an hour.

  • Today I am joined by Oisín Murray and Róisín Doyle of Faoin Talamh, a new ancient Irish audio-visual project that will be debuting this Friday in Unit 44, Dublin.

    The audio-visual collaboration is made using the sounds of Irish Bronze Age musical instruments in tandem with abstracted imagery of Irish Flora.

    In this episode we will be talking about how this project began, the ancient sites the pair visited when researching for the project, the instruments played (all of which I've never even heard of), how you go about composing music that has no original sheet music for it or recordings, how Róisín created the beautiful visuals for the project and how people have died playing the instruments - I'm deadly serious, that has happened.

    I had the pleasure of getting to see an example of what way this work would take form in and was really blown away at the combination of the music that Oisín has composed for this project played alongside the audio-visual's Róisín created, perfectly in sync and flowing with each other throughout the piece. Friday night at Unit 44 will be an event not to be missed. Tickets will be available at the door for €5.

    Faoin Talamh also gave me a snippet of one of the pieces to open this episode, which is entitled 'Dúros' and is available to listen now on Spotify.

    Reserve a ticket!
