Episode 187: Daddee
Daddee are making their return on the podcast today!I'll be joined by Darragh and Ciaran about the band's debut album, 'Weekend at the Martello', which is available on July 16th, this Wednesday!Combining heavy rock'n'roll with lyrical wit and storytelling, Daddee’s music is a cocktail of dark humour and social commentary. Taking cues from Queens of the Stone Age, LCD Soundsystem, Courtney Barnett, and Viagra Boys, the band crafts a sound that’s at once raw, melodic, and unpredictable.Weekend at the Martello is a concept album set in a seedy pub by the sea — The Martello. Each track offers a glimpse into the life of a different, often troubled or absurd, patrons. The result is a vivid gallery of characters rendered with dark humour and blistering energy. Several of these personas are portrayed in the album’s striking artwork.The album was recorded primarily in a DIY home studio/bedroom, with drums tracked at Beardfire Studio, and mixed by Gary O’Reilly.To celebrate the release of this wonderful album, Daddee will be playing their launch show this Friday alongside Queen Bitch and Zizou in Sin E. Ticket are available for that through Eventbrite.Weekend at the Martello Album launch ticketsHorrenda + Their Last Stop + Fear Gorta live at Sin ESacred Noose + Grave Sermon + Their Last Stop + Lymphoedema live at Sin E Hosted on Acast.

Episode 186: The Keening
Today's guest on the podcast is Rebecca Vernon of The Keening!The Keening is Rebecca's Portland-based solo music project, who led SLC doom metal band SubRosa for 13 years.She released her debut album 'Little Bird' in 2023, which is an album I can't recommend enough and is currently working on her second album, which we will chat about in this episode.The primary focus of this episode though is The Keening's latest single, 'Hell is a Mirror', which was released in June and is a song that goes out to the perpetrators and enablers of the Gaza genocide. A deeply emotional and powerful song, I'll be talking with Rebecca about firstly why she wrote the song, how the song was made and then the Gaza genocide and the responses she's received from using her voice to talk about the injustices going on there.The song is available on Bandcamp and 100% of all proceeds from the sales for this song (minus PayPal fees) will be donated to Gaza Mutual Aid Solidarity (GMAS).I can say it enough how much of an influence Rebecca's music has had on myself, still in disbelief I got to interview her so it was an enormous pleasure to chat to her, especially for a cause like this.Hell is a Mirror on BandcampThe Keening on LinktreeHorrenda + Their Last Stop + Fear Gorta live at Sin ESacred Noose + Grave Sermon + Their Last Stop + Lymphoedema live at Sin E Hosted on Acast.

Episode 185: Mob Wife
Today on the podcast I am joined by Chris Leckey of the Belfast noise rock/punk band, Mob Wife!We'll be covering the band's latest EP, 'RTO', which was released on June 7th. Following the release of their debut album ‘Eat With Your Eyes’, expectation was high for album number two. The band retreated to their Belfast practice space and began working up new material. After writing almost 3 albums worth of material the band took stock and decided that a fresh approach to the new material was required. The band were keen to move away from previous structurally complex songs and focus on a more straight forward and groove orientated while maintaining the markers of the Mob Wife sound. This new approach is heard on ‘ROT’ with the band working collaboratively through ideas, developing their sound further and expanding on ideas which resulted in the bands most realised work to date.I'll be going through the EP with Chris track by track, breaking down how each song was constructed and recorded, along with focusing on the key themes that the EP explores.Mob Wife on LinktreeHorrenda + Their Last Stop + Fear Gorta live at Sin ESacred Noose + Grave Sermon + Their Last Stop + Lymphoedema live at Sin E Hosted on Acast.
