Episode 28.
An extended episode with visits from Yngve and The Innocent, Von Bizmark, Killian McGrath and Froud.
We used the extended time to play some of the interviews that I prerecorded when the nice internet was down in the Hub in DCU, seemingly the cables were cut or eaten or broken, Anyway they didn’t work..
The two hours was still just enough to cover everything… podcasts of all the shows will be up as soon as I get my assignments finished..
Full Playlist coming soon!

Shine On is the debut single from Irish singer/songwriter Killian McGrath which will be released in May 2010.
It’s a piano/guitar/vocal lead track. First thing I notice is how Killian’s raspy edged voice seems older than he is. ‘Shine On’ has a nice build up and production on the track allows everything to breathe withing its own space.
About halfway through the track, some beautifully arranged strings and vocal harmonies take the song to another level, before a full band sound kicks in. Maybe this could have happened a little earlier.
Lyrically, ‘Shine On’ seems to be a tale of moving on from one situation to another. Again, McGrath’s words make him seem older than his years.
It’s a very good debut and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for McGrath.
