  • Tune of the Week: 27/10/09

    Christophe Willem is someone I discovered about 3 years ago in France I think he has the weirdest, strangest voice ever.. but he makes damn good music..

    I saw this video for this at the weekend and burst out laughing –  in the alcove where the couple are sitting on the bridge I took a lot of photos when I was in Paris in April.

    Produced by Guy Chambers, this is a dancey upbeat Madonna – esque track and I’ve been humming it all weekend! It’s  taken from his second album Caffeine and ‘Heartbox’ is this week’s Tune of The Week!

  • Frantic Jack: Firefly Review

    franticjackLogo

    I wrote this for MusicReviewUnsigned.com when I get a direct link I will update

    Firefly is the debut single from Edenderry based band Frantic Jack.

    The band seem to wear their influences of their sleeves as shimmers of Counting Crows (vocally) and old school Green Day (guitar) raise their heads.

    Firefly is a melodic track with a standard verse chorus middle 8 chorus format.

    Its a decent track and if they were signed it would get a hell of a lot of airplay in the AOR charts. I’d love to see Frantic Jack push the limits a little as this is an amazingly tough genre to be in and it needs a little magic to break through.

    Track two on the single is Hang from the Gates. This track in its own right could easily be a single. It starts off electric guitar and vocals and builds up to a nice crescendo. Grey’s Anatomy hello?

    This is a good solid debut from Frantic Jack.
