  • TransAutoRadio: 3 Review

    This CD and press release grabbed by attention because it said this was a ‘Triple A side’ release, so its a triangle?

    After a couple of listens to TransAutoRadio I would say this isn’t a Triple A single release but more of an album sampler. The tracks included on the disc are all in around the five minute mark so a radio single release with be a bit hard, due to their length. But that mightn’t be what the band are going for.

    The band use a variety of instruments, electronic, wind, string and synths throughout the tracks and possess an early 70’s experimental feel. After listening to ‘Waving Nor Drowning’, something tells me they may like Pink Floyd. (more…)

    Lethal Dialect, Nessy and Costello

    Episode 47:

    This was one of those shows had made me leave the studio buzzing, I really enjoyed and I think I can safely say we had a first for DCUfm if not Irish college radio when Lethal Dialect and Costelloe dropped some rhymes live in the studio. (see the lingo IS sorted !). It was lovely to chat to Daire O’Reilly also and get an insight into the Each Small Candle Project.

    Really enjoyed the show, would love to get more hip hop in, if you’re a hip hop/rap artist get in touch!

    Here’s what happened:

    1. DJ Flip & Freezemaster Slick: Crossroads

    2. Miles Kane: Closer

    3. Interpol: Lights (This week’s Recommended Free Legal Download available from www.interpolnyc.com)

    4. Chat with Lethal Dialect and Costello

    5. Lethal Dialect (feat Tommy Hand): Hold You Down

    6. Lethal Dialect Feat Costello: The Beginning (live)

    7. Costello feat Lethal Dialect: Philosophical

    8. Lethal Dialect: Far From The End

    9. Chat with Daire O’Reilly about Each Small Candle CD project for Sosad.ie

    10. Daire O’Reilly: Oh Darlin

    11. The Minutes: Black Keys

    I’m going to see if I can get it sorted to include the live tracks included in the podcast. That would be cool!

  • Tune Of The Week: 25/02/11

    I’ve been really liking this for the past few weeks, the new single from co-frontman of The Last Shadow Puppets and former frontman of The Rascals. This week’s Tune of the week is Miles Kane and Closer.

  • Gypsies On The Autobahn: Demo Review

    GOTA Having twice received information about a Gypsies On The Autobahn gig on March 11th in Academy 2 (see I got the plug in!), I decided to check the guys out. Question? How long can a band be together and still call themselves newcomers? “Together almost 5 years now Gypsies On The Autobahn are have fast become one of the most talked about young newcomers to the Irish music scene.” Enough about that, what are they like?

    The demo starts with ‘Hidden’, the most polished of all the tracks and sounds like The Script having an indie day. Memorable hooks and lyrics, tight musicianship and just ever so right harmonies come together with the end result being a pretty decent track with a nice ending. (more…)
