'Stories of Ruin' is the second album from folk rock band The Cujo Family. Never have 'Stories of Ruin' been so entertaining. After a decent debut album released in 2010, The Cujo Family are upping their game with a fine collection of songs that merge Americana, folk, rock with a mix of murder ballads and tales of dark themes. 'Stories of Ruin' has been a great listen over the last number of weeks as both background music and songs to get your [...]

Finishing off my rundown of the best 5 acts at Helium is Irish rockers Kopek. Check out this slideshow of gig photos from AK Photography: https://www.facebook.com/AntoK anePhotography At Westport last year Kopek were one of the best bands I seen. At Helium they again didn't disappoint with their high energy on stage and powerful anthems.

Another band playing Glastonbury twice this year on the main stages is Oxford band 'Stornaway'. They play The Avalon Stage on Friday and The Other Stage on Sunday. Here's a fine song from the band: The Avalon Stage Friday SHOOGLENIFTY STORNOWAY LUCY ROSE [...]
I know most bands play a number of times over the weekend across the hundred stages but some bands are so in demand that they get to play the main stages twice. Jake Bugg, Haim and Stornaway are three such bands. Another is 'The Staves' who are playing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday over three stages: Crossiant Neuf Stage Friday SMERINS ANTI [...]
The former 'Turn' singer, Oliver Cole is back with a new tune 'Little Wolf' which is absolutely brilliant. It takes about two minutes to excel but it's worth the wait. It's moody and atmospheric with a bunch of wolf-like 'Arwhooo woooo's' in there for fine effect. Single Launch: Whelans, Dublin Thursday July 4 th . [...]
One of the best acts at last week's Helium Festival was Australian Liza Flume with a charming and brave performance of great songs from her debut EP 'Full Steam Ahead'.

I'm nearing the end of the countdown of my favourite acts from last Saturday's Helium Festival. The top three were Wallis Bird, Drew DeFour and Kila with Navan band Shannon & The Shortcuts being the 4th best band on the day: Playing the midday set on the second stage, the threepiece played a short set of catchy indie pop songs that were very polished accomplished pieces of work. The songs allow Shannan to be the outstanding star on stage with her personality glowing in the [...]
'Wits End' is a really good album from alt country UK band ahab. It's full of decent, catchy tunes which has been a pleasure to listen to these last few weeks. Ahab is a five piece alt country band who are making real progress in the UK folk scene while flirting with critical acclaim. At a time when folk music is going through a massive revival, Ahab are a band that could rive a crest of it's wave [...]

While Electronic, Dance music isn't normally my thing I can still appreciate a piece of music art when I hear it. My Dance Radio is the name of Dublin electronic two piece Mani & Colm: My Dance Radio plan to release one track each month until the end of the year, all of which will be available on a pay-what-you-want basis. Art of Rejection is released 24 May 2013 [...]
The third best set [after Wallis Bird & Drew DeFour] of Helium for me came from Kíla who played the perfect set of Celtic rhythmic tunes to a full crowd on the main stage at Helium on Saturday. It was raw, energetic, atmospheric and got people moving. Saturday night was the perfect time to see Kíla. A festival slot of an hour for Kíla means that self indulgence and ten minute badhran solos are put to the side in favour of no nonsense rhythmic vibes [...]
