Gurriers: "We’re not politicians – we’re just musicians shouting and roaring about the trials and tribulations of the world" | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Dublin post-punk maestros Gurriers unveil their brilliant new opus Nobody’s Coming To Save You, they discuss the album’s fascinating array of musical and literary influences, political upheaval, the apocalyptic tenor of the times and more with a rapt Will Russell. Dinnseanchas, or place-lore, occupies a central place in Irish culture, transforming the physical geography of the Celtic landscape into a dense web of story, memory and meaning. My first listen to Gurriers’ rather excellent sophomo
Julia Jacklin: "If I’m going to do it, I have to love the music top to bottom – otherwise I’m just going to hate the whole thing” | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Dublin for an intimate Spindizzy Records set, Julia Jacklin talks to Will Russell about her brilliant new album The Gem – and the Melbourne pub, scene and friendships that helped bring it to life. Just north-east of Melbourne’s centre, Collingwood is a tight, weathered patch of brick warehouses, laneways, bottle shops and band rooms – an old industrial suburb remade as one of the city’s great engines of music, style and nocturnal mischief. And there’s a glorious watering hole that squats on W
Album Review: The Mary Wallopers, Paddywhackery | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“This is Irish rock ’n’ roll,” sings Andrew Hendy on ‘The Juice’, while dancing rather marvellously in the accompanying lo-fi video. It’s a song that distils the essential Mary Wallopers ingredients: anti-establishment ire, pints and rebellion, all wrapped around a delicious melody. By then, Brother Charles has already taken aim at old John Bull on lead single ‘Crowns Of England’, tearing the arse out of the butcher’s apron and pudgy Winston, whilst invoking the ghosts of the Pecker Dunne and Ma
The Waterboys' Mike Scott: "If you play in a circle, you can record 12 songs in a day, and they might all be pretty good" | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mike Scott returns to the forgotten reels of Fisherman’s Blues – and finds another album hiding in the wake, the brilliantly compelling Atlantic Rain. In 1985, Mike Scott had brought The Waterboys’ Big Music – reverb, revelation, ringing guitars, the full moonlit apparatus of rock transcendence – to its peak. The expected course was further ascent. Instead, he changed element. He came to Ireland – to Dublin, Windmill Lane, Steve Wickham’s fiddle, Anthony Thistlethwaite’s mandolin, and then west,
Jalen Ngonda: "I just do what I do, and I’m happy people like it" | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Following the release of his stellar sophomore album, Doctrine Of Love, and in advance of two eagerly anticipated Ireland shows, Jalen Ngonda reveals the craft behind his timeless sound. Jalen Ngonda possesses a rare kind of voice that seems to arrive from another age. Maryland-born and UK-based, the Daptone singer draws on Motown, Detroit soul, Chicago soul, gospel, New Orleans R&B and doo-wop. His debut album, Come Around And Love Me, announced a remarkable talent. Ahead of his eagerly awaited
