    Album Review: Jake Xerxes Fussell, The Old Beloved Path | Hotpress (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Folk singer reinterprets old standards - 7/10 Folk singer and guitarist Jake Xerxes Fussell takes old traditional folk songs and doesn’t so much reimagine them, as reinvent them, in a manner that’s almost like a meditation session. Take lead single from this sixth/seventh long player, ‘Rock Island Line’, made famous by Leadbelly and since covered by everyone from Lonnie Donegan to Billy Bragg. Here it’s pretty much unrecognisable from the old spiritual, Fussell combining it with an old English n

    Album Review: Echo & the Bunnymen, Apples for Isaac | Hotpress (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    First new music in 12 years from Scouse stalwarts - 7.5/10 While they’ve never stopped touring, it’s been 12 years since the Bunnymen’s last original album, 2014’s Meteorites. On this 13th studio outing, Ian McCulloch, Will Sergeant and the band have obviously unearthed a new creative muse, aided and abetted by legendary Blondie drummer Clem Burke on 10 of the 11 tracks (Burke sadly passed away before the album was finished). Searing opener ‘Take Me By The Hand’ and the strident, slightly gothic

    Album Review: Underachiever & The Letdowns, Adventures In Disappointment | Hotpress (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Rip-roaring outing for alternative crew. 7.5/10 The brainchild of Tony McLoughlin, former member of The Young Folk and sometime mandolin player with Junior Brother, Underachiever & The Letdowns are the finest purveyors of pristine punk and zany pop that you’ve never heard. Album opener ‘Jacket’ comes on like Amyl And The Sniffers, if they came from Ballyfermot instead of Melbourne, with a rhythm as infectious as influenza, the catchiest bassline this side of a Tarantino soundtrack, and the most

    Live Report: Bell X1 at the Iveagh Gardens | Hotpress (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Bell X1 took over Iveagh Gardens on Saturday to deliver a summery collection of hits. It’s probably because it’s so rare, but there is something truly magical about Iveagh Gardens as a venue when the sun shines. Bell X1 frontman Paul Noonan jokes that he had the Child of Prague out all week in order to entreat the weather gods to be kind, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves. First up, Bren Berry and the Beautiful Losers send waves of beautiful noise over those who arrived early. The six-piece b

    Album Of The Month: Rousing rock ‘n’ roll from old masters. 8/10 There must be something in the water, or maybe it’s the geriatric multivitamins! First Ringo releases a cracking new album, then McCartney does the same. Not to be outdone, Mick, Keef and Ronnie unveil a new Rolling Stones album, Foreign Tongues, with enough energy and sass to put bands a quarter of their age to shame. McCartney is obviously enjoying a new lease of life: here, he contributes some sprightly bass to the snappy rock s
