June 19, 2019 Mark Johnson 0

On the original road to salvation, St. Paul suggests that the wages of sin are death. Rich Layton has avoided that outcome in a lifetime in the rock’n’roll trenches, but has taken a few knocks along […]

Dinah Brand “Thank You Driver” (Transduction Records, 2019)

June 18, 2019 Paul Kerr 0

A four-piece band from Dublin, Dinah Brand prove to be quite a seductive listen on this, their third album. There’s a dreamlike quality to much of the album, the songs almost translucent as they float from […]
