DAVID HOPE
A PICTURE Review
Lets talk about black this is the cover of David’s Album A Picture” the first thing that sprung to me was Mr. Cash … but when I pressed play on the stereo I could hear some fantastic roots music with hints of bluegrass style playing over Irish traditional music, the lyrics on this album have a very moving and heart touching soul to them, very well written and produced maybe David could be Irelands answer to our own Cash or even Dylan very relaxed and yet “A Picture” makes great listening right to the end of this 10 track thriller thumbs up David and What a superb album….

WHY
RED Review
Four piece Canadian rock band causing a stir in the independent scene with the release of their album Red, creating some harmonic pop and rock melodies on this 12 track album with many critics finding their sound like U2 but I will have to agree to a certain point I think they have a great sound more progressive than most bands in this genre with some fantastic vocals and catchy radio tunes, the lyrics have a real deep poetic touch to them very close to Inxs and Simple minds this is one group with the potential of becoming a force to be reckoned with in the music scene …superb stuff

BABY JENX
ARTIST OF THE MONTH MAY 08
Live at The Cherry tree Walkinstown, Dublin 26th of April 08
Thrilling and epic two words to describe the performance on the night with top class grooves and excellent stage presence Baby Jenx pulled of a great gig, even thought The cherry tree room is a more intimate gig Baby Jenks gave you a much wider feel as if you were at a big stadium with full fat sound and a very tight set while playing some class tunes from there forthcoming debut album that will be released soon this year with some melodic grooves and superb vocals on board this is one act you need to get out and see.

GIG RANK: ****** 6 out of 6
3 TRACK DEMO REVIEW
This four piece Dublin based band is on the scene since 2003, the demo contains three tracks of mesmerizing tunes with flawless melodic rhythm.
Exhale – A very soft but lifting tune, the vocals express the lyrics very well with some nice dynamics coming from this tune with moody tones and uplifting melodies this has the feel of indie rock with a splash of pop.
Sell yourself – There is a few elements to be heard from this tune, folk rock with a bit of southern American style feel, I would have liked to hear more from the cool melody used in the intro on the keys but it still sounds sweet and very clean cut tune.
Karman line – This tune has a nice flow in the rhythm it kicks in like an early Pink Floyd number but changes in a nice way with the vocals carrying the tune very well, the piano work sounds too much like a Cold play song this tune lacks a bit of originality but sounds great.
