Review Snapshot: Things could have gotten very quiet for Jape in the last few years, but Ritual will be banishing any barren times for Richie Egan. Not a perfect album, but a magnificent one nonetheless. If music was food, Ritual would satisfy more tastes than most. The Cluas Verdict? 8.5 out of 10 Full Review: […]
Review Snapshot: Swedish (we think) five-piece debut with a sound collection of works that – regretfully – seem too comfortable in their own skin to reach out and engage the listener in an anotherwise worthwhile listen. The Cluas Verdict? 5.5 out of 10 Full Review: Rubies are a five-piece built around the longstanding pair of […]

And having listened to it, I’m not sure which I find more confusing: the fact that these publications can seemingly predict 2006’s musical future, or that they […]
Gav Reilly preview Ireland’s answer to the Mercurys… This month marks the beginning of a new era (okay, that’s a little too emphatic but it’s certainly a sign of consolidation) for the Irish music scene with the announcement of the first winner of the brand spanking new Choice Music Prize for the best Irish album […]
It surely isn’t much of an understatement to say that the debut from this young Sheffield foursome was one of hte most eagerly awaited offerings of 2005 – it almost seems that the album appeared in January out of spite. Most of the songs on the contradictorily titled Whatever People Say I Am… have been […]
