The Walls
Ireland
Steve and Joe Wall (Dublin, Ireland) write great songs. Over the years many of them have become embedded in the Irish psyche. Songs such as 'Brewing up a Storm' and 'Half Past Two' - from their days in their previous band - The Stunning, are like national anthems. While songs such as... Read More

Creators Project Occupies Brooklyn: Karen O, ..This past weekend, Vice and Intel hosted the second annual Creators Project, a collision of art and music that dominated much of DUMBO, that relatively small slice of Brooklyn neighborhood sandwiched between both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. The site was literally inspiring: The view of the Manhattan skyline was clear and installations and stages were well spread out amongst former warehouse and factory spaces. SPIN hit up five of the biggest concerts and installations: See incredible photos from the Creators Project's Brooklyn takeover. Karen O (Literally) Slays With Psycho Opera Stop the Virgens The trip inside Karen O ...Spin18 October 2011

Live Review: We Are The Ocean - Bush Hall, L ..Sitting just a stones throw away from the stunning Shepherds Bush Empire, Bush Hall is certainly a more quaint setting for tonight’s show, however for what it lacks in grandeur it certainly makes up for in eloquence. With its ornate chandlers hanging from the high ceiling and intricate woodwork layering the walls – that have heard their fair share of great acts over the years – you begin to realise why We Are The Ocean chose it as the venue for their debut acoustic show. And as the crowd took their seats - soaking in the dramatic surroundings - anticipation built for a ...Alter The Press23 August 2011

Elinor John // The 405 InterviewFrom Urban Outfitters to Amsterdam, 22 year-old Elinor John's distinctive and charismatic paintings have been gaining her a solid reputation before she's even out of University. In a social climate increasingly concerned with the often slippery concept of identity, Elinor's work aims to capture the essence of the individual through the material things that surround them; intimate bedrooms and studios are turned upside down to reveal the most telling secrets; carelessly draped clothes speak volumes; the walls can definitely talk. Elinor has taken a break from the canvas to give us an insight to her work: When ...The 40518 June 2011

Tour Diary // Catanauts Tour 2011In February and March We Aeronauts toured with Cat Matador to promote their respective new CDs. This diary was kept by We Aeronauts’ drummer, Jeremy. The ‘Chalon Valley’ EP is out late May on Brainlove Records. Thursday 24th February Cat Matador EP Launch, The Cellar, Oxford I love King of Cats. The venue barely constitutes busy yet, but as people drift in there’s a high chance they’d find Max laying on the venue floor playing the ukulele to the ceiling. The rest of his set is on stage but no less captivating and as usual I’m hung ...The 40519 April 2011

Everybody’s IrishIt is said that everybody is Irish on St Patrick’s Day. I suppose that that means that all musicians are Irish musicians for the day as well. Most of the ones in this post are, but, more to the point, all of this music is informed by traditional Irish folk forms. And yet, these songs are quite different from one another. These artists have taken the tradition and had some fun with it. Let’s see what happened.

Young Guns Tour Diary: Part 4-6Young Guns frontman Gustav Wood reports from the road... Day 4 - Cork Today is our first ever headline show in another country. Not technically true as we've played headliners in Scotland and Wales, but it definitely feels different - it's the first time we've had to physically travel abroad specifically for our own shows. The show is at roughly a normal time but due to street restrictions we have to load in at 11AM. Uncool. We get up and eat some breakfast at a diner next door (part of an Irish chain called Eddie Rockets, a chain which ...Kerrang!23 November 2010

Seasick Steve Adds London ShowHobo turned bluesman Seasick Steve has announced details of an intimate London show. Seasick Steve is now a household name, capable of selling out massive venues. Last year the itinerant bluesman headlined the prestigious Royal Albert Hall, marking an important step in his career. Yet the singer is not afraid of playing tiny shows. Seasick Steve made his name by playing anywhere, anytime and recently confirmed a small London date. The bluesman will return to the capital on October 7th, for a show in The Blues Kitchen. A dedicated blues venue, the tiny London pub has boasted performances by some ...Clash Music9 September 2010

Mountain Man - St Giles In The Fields Church ..Venue: St Giles In The Fields Church Support Bands: The Lost Brothers Date: 02/09/10 Right in the heart of London's busy West End, just off of Denmark Street, sits St Giles In The Fields Church. Once inside the building it is difficult to believe that somewhere as peaceful and serene can exist in the heart of the West End. It is also difficult to imagine a venue any more perfect for the exquisite American vocal group Mountain Man to perform. Let's not jump too far ahead though, because first it is the job of Ireland's ...The 4057 September 2010

dreadMy deathly old friend the hag has paid me a couple of visits of late. You can read a modified old post I wrote about this baleful experience below... Sleep paralysis, eh? It's so far removed from the bog-standard nightmare that it leaves their commonplace frights sitting like abandoned circus caravans at the foothills of some ruinatious shadowland of subconscious terror. (The place where Paddy Casey lives in a oily recess of a blackened cliff, sucking fish-heads for sustenance and planning on his next teleport to whelans). Look at the painting above - spooky as fuck or whah? It's ...Asleep on the compost heap17 June 2010

Field Music, Clientele Chime InA few days after Torontonians loudly and obnoxiously honoured Ireland, anglophone rock fans packed the Horseshoe Tavern for a tribute to the English. The recently reunited Field Music joined up with The Clientele for a trek across the pond, and their Friday night stop in Toronto drew a large early crowd of people eager to welcome them back. Field Music are based around the core duo of brothers David and Peter Brewis, and play quintessentially English pop — they're like Squeeze with a touch of Futureheads angularity. At their first Toronto show since a temporary breakup in 2007, they focused ...CHARTattack23 March 2010

Tour Diary: Our Lost InfantryOur Lost Infantry are a four-piece from Aldershot specialising in ‘complicated pop’. In late February, they embarked on their first national tour. Having announced the release of single ‘The Arsonist’ on WET Records in the Summer, there was a positive atmosphere with the band telling the local press: “We've got in the habit of playing every show like it's our last, so expect four men sweating, shouting and jumping.” Introductions first: Thom – voice/frets/convoluted ideas Matt – black ‘n’ whites/voice/arcane knowledge Tom – low notes/voice/car fancying Parkin – drums/voice/Chinese windom London, 25 February The ...The 40517 March 2010
