See: Able Archer release video for Ghostmaker
Dublin’s Able Archer, aka Emmet McCaughey, Rob McDonnell, Diarmuid Breathnach, Sean O’Connor and Neil Buckley first attracted our attention with their Bullets EP, with their forceful indie/alt rock and their winning tunes enough for us to stick our hats on them to make it big. Their second, as yet unnamed EP is due out this …

Listen: Elvis Dracula – I May Be Dead (But I Still Can Love)
It’s not often that I’m lost for words. But I’m a bit stumped at the moment. In a nutshell we have one third of the horror punk trio, Drunken Draculas, Elvis Dracula adding his own lyrics and singing along to old 78rpm recordings of Fats Waller. No further comment from me. Have a listen and …
Track: The Moons – ‘Heart And Soul’ plus Spring Tour dates
The Kinks were a pretty big band back in the day. And The Zombies were pretty awesome too. Agreed? Thought you would. So you’d probably agree that members of both bands are very qualified to spot a decent tune or two. So if Dave Davies and Rod Argent say The Moons are alright, we would …

Track: Hunck – Toy Trucks
Hunck could be described as a side project, you know, one of one things you do for fun, or when things are quiet, or something you can be a little more daring with. This particular one features fellow London dwellers Frederick Tyson-Brown, who also plays in MT, and Thomas Wykes who plays live with the …
New Music: Little Racer – Punk Life
I sort of miss the days when on every street corner in every town was a little gang of punks. I remember being very small and seeing these cool people with ripped up t-shirts and bullet belts and 24 hole Dr Martins and Mohicans. I used to wonder if being a punk was a full …
Track: Ben Watt to release new album Hendra, and listen to the title track
There are things we all either put off, or keep meaning to get round to. I’ve been meaning to paint my garden shed for quite a while now, while the borders need weeding. One thing is for sure though, it won’t take me the thirty years its taken Ben Watt to get round to it. …

Already a singer, songwriter and producer, she has enough faith to …
