Red House - Red House EP

Red House - Red House EP

Self-proclaimed ‘sharp four-piece unit’ Red House (RH) release their debut EP, a three-track rock and roller that ticks all the boxes for any indie rock hopefuls. A strong guitar pedigree takes centre stage throughout, complemented by fierce vocals and lyrics brimming with hormone-fuelled poetry.

Rolling from their success at The Goats Toe Battle Of The Bands 2018, RH has captured the live sound that makes their music exciting and mixed it with their recent confidence boost, writing an impressive inaugural record. As with life, the best parts of Red House’s debut are the simple things. Basking in the liberty that accompanies the unfiltered and uncomplicated, RH fly free and straight, performing at a level that belies their debutant status. Riffy solos and booze driven ballads flavour the EP, drawing complaints of repetitiveness from those looking for them. How you cannot admire the blunt tenacity, however, is beyond me. Good guitars are universal, and I challenge anyone who argues otherwise for this EP.


The Red House EP has neither funk nor groove, but a dirty, pounding rhythm that so many in the modern age shy from. Instead of blues, there are only blacks (or red I suppose. A better writer would insert some witty remark about RH replacing Rhythm and Blues with Riffs and Blacks. Alas, I am not they). The strengths are undeniably the simplicity and universality of the tracks. which would fit on either radio airwaves or your private playlist without much resistance. If any indication of what's to come, fans should be impatient for the next release.

Stayne - Parachute

Stayne - Parachute Derry singer/songwriter Stayne makes a highly anticipated return to the ‘new releases’ column with ‘ Parachute ’. A self-described pop artist who brings “something a little different,” his newest single pulls no punches. On his latest, the ‘I slay ’ performer tackles everything from alcoholism, spirituality and needing someone to hold on to a 'human parachute.’ Know to fuse his lyricism with introspection and self-worth before sending them out into the world, Stayne’s newest is his best so far. The warm gruff vocals of the walled city resident flow into range, telling a tale of victory and failure. A stripped back arrangement of keys and ghostly strings help elevate the vocal message, ultimately committing addition by subtraction. Wallowing in a more subtle sound than would be expected from pop allows Stayne to bring his voice to the forefront, giving lines such as “I’m a whole different man when I’m holding a beer” a new gravity. With this being

Stone Broken, Those Damn Crows + Baleful Creed - 10th February 2019

Stone Broken, Those Damn Crows + Baleful Creed - 10th February 2019 As I make my way down fountain street, my breath materialises in front of me. As it dissipates into the night, a low rumbling grows. It’s emanating from the top floor of local music hostelry Voodoo, which plays host tonight to a contingent of hard rock fanatic and headbang enthusiasts. The scuzz is palpable as I make my way through the door. First onstage is Belfast’s own Baleful Creed . The heavy rock quartet, known for their weighty riffs and ruthless demeanour, are having some fun tonight onstage. While sticking to the meat and bones of their gruff sound, we are treated to some wavey psychedelic blues in between licks. These deviations don’t last however, and it’s not long before pounding drum fills are shaking my back wall table and gruff, leathery textured vocals are searing the paint of the wall. Ripping up the stage with a prehistoric sound steeped in the blues (a wild harmonica appears for a moment),

Son Of The Hound - You Are Alive

Son Of The Hound - You Are Alive  Musician. Writer. Podcaster. Doggo. Friend (?) of Nathan O’Regan. Take your pick from any number of the titles used to describe Mick McCullagh, but for the purpose of this exercise, we’ll refer to him with his nom-de-plume: Son Of The Hound. The guitar pop troubadour with a penchant for soft, almost vulnerable, anthems returns with new track ‘You Are Alive,’ a strident alt-folk/rock number propelled by a determined spirit and resonant tone. An electric echo leads the march before a percussive stomp kicks the anti-nihilism into its wide-eyed gear. The upbeat chorus is introduced with a Janis Joplin-esque roar of “lonely, lonely, loh-oh-oh-oh-ohnely” before a wall of ringing chords, dripping in alacrity and zeal, slams into the listener. Streams of twilight infused licks flow through the track like tributaries, carrying extra pep with each flick of McCullagh's wrist, towards the grand sense of commonality found in the football chant appeal
