'Estuary' is a solid debut album of unpretentious rock tunes from Australia based Irish singer-songwriter Minus Circus with a few superb moments of brilliance. I've just read the bio of Minus Circus on his website and I got a real sense of the meaning behind 'Estuary'. This album is the result of a decade's work from the Drogheda born artist. All those years running singer-songwriter nights in Dublin, playing numerous gigs every year, years writing and re-writing personal songs have been [...]
Rating: 9.3 Geographer 's past has been hardly noticed up until now. After all, their collection consists of a 73 single, "Kites" (that could alone make the band noteworthy) and their fantastic first album called Innocent Ghosts , which pairs quite nicely with their Animal Shapes EP . As you'll see from our review last time around, we've been tuned into Geographer since 2009 which is when Tricycle Records may have picked up one of the indie scene's best-kept secrets. [...]

You've made it - our top 25 songs of 2011 are right here. We were blown away by the talent here and perhaps some of the way these songs worked out for the respective artists here could either be sheer luck to have a song turn out so favorably or perhaps it came down to just raw talent. Whatever it is, these songs rocked our day, week, month or heck... even our year. Enjoy the best of the best with our top 25 songs of 2011! 25. The Remainers - House [...]
Here we are. The end of the sixth year of the Nialler9 poll. Thank you all once again for voting. We had about 100 or so votes that made up the results in songs , new artists, EPs and now, the big one - albums. Our ultimate winner has topped the poll before that doesn't negate the indisputable fact that there's plenty of superb Irish music contained within this list... 25. The Ambience Affair - Burials 24. LaFaro - Easy Meat [...]
When we set out to make these lists at the end of each year, we usually try to include tracks that aren't on the Best of Albums List to narrow down the choices. This year we took a more honest approach, but it was terrible to cut 365 days worth of songs down to a mere 25 tracks. We changed them up until the last possible minute, driving ourselves, our loved ones, and each other crazy with our "what if..."s. In the end, though, these are the songs that made us hit repeat, and carried us [...]
To say Bell X1 are a busy and committed bunch of lads would be like saying bears like to deposit excrement in wooded areas. Ireland's favourite homegrown band have been on the music scene for well over a decade now, entertaining their flock of fans with their energetic and experimental live performances. As well as touring extensively the world over, the band have spent their twenties laying down tracks in the studio (they have five studio albums under their belts to date), making countless TV appearances, both at home and abroad, and raising an abundance of dough for [...]

Photo of Ray Davies compliments of the artist Here are this weekend's XPN Welcomes concerts. FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18 Bell X1 is Ireland’s best barely-kept secret. The group, originally known as Juniper, used to feature Damien Rice as its lead singer; unfortunately, it's still often recognized for that fact, rather than for its Talking Heads- and Flaming Lips-inspired fusion of rock and electronic music. Bell X1 is a sensation in Ireland, nominated for Best Irish Band at the Meteor Music Awards three different times. It was also nominated [...]
My top ten or so bands shuffle around pretty frequently with the plethora of amazing music out there, but Bell X1 have consistently been in the mix. I had been waiting around seven years to finally get the chance to see Bell X1 perform live, missing them while living in Los Angeles because of a trip to Ireland ironically enough. So, you could imagine my elation when they came to Denver this year twice in the span of a few months. Playing at the Hi-Dive this time, which is one of my favorite of the [...]
Bell X1 (Photo: Jan Von Holleben) Exclusive Interview: Bell X1 November 8, 2011 by Chuck Norton Twenty years. That's a long time for any relationship to last.

After that band disolved in 1998 because of issues with their record label and "creative differences," the same members - [...]

MUF’s Top 25 Albums of 2011
We know you lost sleep over the course of last month, waiting patiently, racking your brain to see what we could possibly list as our favorite albums of 2011. We lost sleep too, compulsively checking our lists twice and perhaps after a fist fight or two, we settled on 25 firm choices. After all, who listens to as much music as us? Who actually has time to listen to put together a valid top 25 list with no filler? We’re fairly certain that most other sites don’t include at least a handful of the albums listed on none other [...]

This Weekend’s Concert Picks: Los Campesinos! at Union Transfer, Todd Rundgren’s Utopia at Tower Theatre
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18 Los Campesinos! has finally embraced the misery it has hinted at for years. From Hold On Now, Youngster… to We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed to Romance Is Boring , Los Campesinos! has made a steady decline into twee-pop depression. The Welsh band’s latest album, appropriately titled Hello Sadness , doesn’t even pretend to be happy. It is an obvious reflection of the break-up that inspired it. The music itself remains unbearably anxious and involved, with countless beats and instruments, but the affect is much gloomier. Lyrics like, “This dripping from my broken heart/Is [...]

Watch Bell X1 on a ‘Sugar High’
The latest single to drop from Bell X1 's Bloodless Coup LP, 'Sugar High' is set for release on November 25th. Talking about the background to 'Sugar High', Paul Noonan comments: "Ireland is in ways a microcosm or concentrated dose of the madness that has us all sloshing around in the shit. The song began as a debauched HR Giger vision of the Fianna Fail tent at the Galway Races, with all the boys out of their minds, riding each other...on a Sugar High." The video was [...]
