EP Roundup: And So I Watch You From Afar, Brad Pitt Light Orchestra, Dirty 9s & Sean Millar

Dec 15, 2009, 10:45am State Magazine

And So I Watch You From Afar – The Letters EP Ah, sixteen minutes more melodramatic instrumental goodness. And So I Watch You From Afar have had plenty at State HQ falling over themselves to find adequate superlatives for the past year, and their latest EP is no different. Edgy, staccato, and exploring a little subtlety and a lot of thunderous noise, The Letters EP carries on where ASIWYFA's quite brilliant debut left off, even throwing in an almost ballad-esque intro to 'D is for Django the Bastard' before chucking their weight into it. They've saved [...]

The Dirty 9s - Lucy Opus

Nov 11, 2009, 2:36pm mp3hugger

I seem to remember JJ72 taking some flack from certain quarters for having that slow/fast dynamic and a lead singer with a voice that could manage a decent falsetto. In other words they had deviated from the staple configuration that had fuelled Irish bands for generations.

The Dirty 9s – Stop Screaming, Start Dreaming

Sep 23, 2009, 6:16am State Magazine

Stop Screaming, Start Dreaming – surely a slogan befitting these recessionary times? While not exactly 'Clash City Rockers' in the protest stakes, debut release from Dubliners the Dirty 9s has enough pop-rock angst to shout about at least. Produced by Greg Haver of Manics/Super Furry Animals fame, Stop Screaming, Start Dreaming is a snappy microcosm of everything we have heard from this band onstage to date, albeit with a noticeably more polished veneer. While there's no sign of the band's Youtube hit El Sexo Infermo , (their Spanish take on "Sex On Fire"), [...]

Pocket Promise interview

Aug 13, 2009, 6:22am State Magazine

One of the three bands playing State vs Club AU at the Purty Loft this Friday, multi-instrumental four piece Pocket Promise formed in Belfast when the seventeen and eighteen year old Cormac Fee, Dominic Coyle, Joe Laverty and Ciarán McKenna hit on the idea of forming a band at school. The band has just released their debut album I've Been Here For Ages and completed an Irish tour with State favourites the Panama Kings, all of which seemed like a good opportunity for us to talk to lead vocalist, guitarist and piano player Cormac.
