Tiny Magnetic Pets Do The Double…
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark have just announced that Ireland’s Tiny Magnetic Pets will be their tour support for the second time.

TMP supported Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark on the 22 date UK leg of The Punishment of Luxury tour in 2017. TMP will be joining the band on their 40th Anniversary tour in Ireland and Germany.

Smoke Without A Fire | New Album From Lynda Cullen
Songwriter & folk singer, Lynda Cullen independently released her eagerly awaited 2nd solo album, Smoke Without a Fire in August of this year.
Her latest collection of songs was recorded live at The Hayti Heritage Centre, St.Joseph’s Sanctuary in Durham, North Carolina in November 2018. Local Durham musicians Rob Sharer (guitar and mandolin), Robert Cantrell (drums) and Hugh Crumley (double bass) came on board with the project following a tour in March 2018.
With producer and engineer Dave Tilley at the helm, the live recording brings a touch of the Southern vibe to her instantly recognisable voice and guitar style. Smoke Without a Fire also features guest performances from renowned NC artists Pattie Le Seuer (vocals), Bill Newton (harmonica), John Curry (dobro) and Libby Rodenbough (fiddle)
Since the release of her first solo album, Paper Boat in 2014, Lynda has performed at various folk festivals and gigs throughout Europe, as well as touring in South Korea for a reunion with former bandmates Second Moon.
Sean OB Releases ‘Two Last Cans’ Video
Sean OB has released the video for his latest single ‘Two Last Cans’, the first track to be taken from the upcoming EP ‘Cigarettes & Perfume’ due for release later this year.
‘Two Last Cans’ is a song written about a hard breakup that really shook Sean to his core, “I don’t think I’ve ever truly recovered from the breakup. It sent me on a long harrowing spiral. I’m not exactly sure, but I think it’s about learning how to live with regret and let go of things that you can’t take back or change no matter how much they fuck with your head.”
Shot around Dublin City and Smock Alley, Directors Ian Downes & James Clarke explain the concept behind the video, “The idea came strongly from the fantastic lyrical makeup, it was to portray the mask we all wear every day, to let it crumble and inevitably free ourselves from it. However, life isn’t really that simple, sometimes we just start all over again.”
Displaying remarkable skills as a song-writer and lyricist, Sean writes with a hard-hitting honesty. He counts stand-up comedians like Doug Stanhope and Bill Hicks as influences that are just as important as the likes of Hunter S. Thompson and John Lennon. But there’s an inherent falseness about “happy” songs that doesn’t sit terribly well with him, either.
“All the best songs are sad songs!” he notes. “A great love song draws on a lot of insecurities. You have to go to a place. I’m always writing, but you have to feel something and really sit with it. If I can get just one sentence that I feel like I wish someone else would sing to me, then I can start. It usually comes pretty quick after that. It might sound weird, but I take a lot of happiness from that.”
‘Two Last Cans’ is out now. Sean OB performs at Whelan’s tonight, Wednesday September 4th
Upcoming Tour Dates:
4th September Whelan’s, Dublin
14th September The Camden Crush, Rock n Roll Rescue, London
5th October The Amersham Arms, London.
Elliott Mo x XO MO ‘Bad Habit Out This Friday
Fresh off the Elecrtric Picnic 2019 stage, Elliott Mo is reading his remix of Xo Mo’s ‘Bad Habit’ for release on September 6th 2019.
“‘Bad Habit’ is a modern take on control and unrequited feelings in a love exchange, drawing sonic influences from both contemporary pop and hip-hop. The remix or edit by Elliott Mo serves as his own take on the track from his perspective.”
The release follows on a successful year consisting of four singles, which found their place on Spotify’s Editorial Playlists including New Music Friday UK, Spotify’s Fresh Finds New Pop Revolution, A Breath of Fresh Éire and A New Éire, features in HotPress. Accompanied by a run of festival performances concluding with a performance in Electric Picnic’s Electric Arena and much national radio attention as well as their 3rd single ‘Wild Dogs’ being featured on Made In Chelsea’s 2019 season premiere.
Robert Grace Announces Next Single
Robert Grace releases new single ‘I’m Here Too’ on September 6th.
Following on from the success of his last single ‘Moving Fast’ which was ‘Tune of the Week’ on 2FM, amongst extensive airplay on other stations, Robert releases his new track ‘I’m Here Too’ (on Kobalt / AWAL) on September 6th.
Sounding like Shawn Mendes meets Charlie Puth Robert has the ability to write slices of cool heartfelt pop readymade for radio.
Previous releases have garnered him ‘Artist of the Week’ on Today FM, led to an A Playlisting on 2FM for his track ‘Wanna Love’ and he has had three songs top the 7 at 7 charts on Beat 102-103.
His track ‘The Good Place’ was added to the influential Easy playlist on Spotify where his last three releases have clocked up over 600,000 streams. An excellent live performer Robert has performed to capacity crowds at Ireland’s biggest festivals Electric Picnic and Indiependence.
In recent years Robert has developed into a songwriter of note. He wrote three and co-produced four tracks on Hometown’s 2016 chart topping album in Ireland. Hometown were managed by Louis Walsh & were signed by Colin Barlow at RCA.
Robert has also co-written with some of the best-known songwriters in the UK including:
Dan McDougall (The Wanted, The Shires)
Blair MacKichan (Paloma Faith/Sia/Lily Allen)Phil Thornalley (Natalie Imbruglia/Pixie Lott)
Josh Wilkinson (One Direction / 5 seconds of Summer)
Shane Fallon Shares Anchorman Inspired Video
Last month Shane (Tex) Fallon gave us ‘Stuck Inside This Rhythm’, a cracker of a summer song. It’s a top tune, and the accompanying video conveying Shane’s acting talents perfectly! It’s retro, happy and Shane seems very at ease in his anchorman eske role.
“We had great fun making the video – which I think is obvious in the result, massively inspired by Anchorman and the humour myself and Nic from Camoberg productions share, he had the idea based on the lyrics and sentiment of the song and the result is, I believe, a great video which hopefully will make people smile at me or with me and get into the song or dance along to it.” Shane Fallon
Shane’s voice is possibly the best-known instrument within his band , The Shoos, and while the band is planning on going back into studio later this summer, ahead of new music from the band The Shoos front man was eager to bring us this gem. It’s infectious.
While working on this song, Shane and his wife were also adding to their family with their second baby, James born just three months old. Their little girl, Sophie is just 1 year 3mths!
As a band, The Shoos has impressed many industry heavy weights through the years. This admiration was cemented by many of these inviting the band to guest on their live shows, including One Republic, Maroon 5, Life House & Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters). Indeed, on the release of the band’s last long play, 2016’s self-titled The Shoos , the band was asked to guest with Jeff Lynne at his 3Arena show in Dublin, just a few weeks later. This guest slot was quickly followed by an invitation directly from Jeff Lynne and his management to play his home town show at Birmingham Arena later the same summer.
Shane packs ‘Stuck Inside This Rhythm’ with similar energy he gives to all his records and live performances. It’s a stomper of a track, you get it also!

Mick Flannery Releases New Video and Announces Tour Dates
An award-winning, double-platinum selling artist, Mick Flannery’s self-titled sixth album released July 2019, soared to #1 in the Irish album charts, and has been warmly received at live shows to packed audiences across Ireland, the UK and USA this summer.
Continuing his successful streak, Mick has released a striking cinematic video for one of the album’s stand out tracks ‘Star to Star’.
Chatting about the video, Mick said: “This is the song that put my latest album in motion, so I’m very glad it’s getting it’s own movie here. I like how the video takes a different angle on the album’s concept. The song references high’s of fame and success and not wanting to let go, the video mirrors these themes in another aspect of life. Thank you to all involved.”
Director Emily Dynes commented: “Creating the visuals to match the epic emotions and beauty of Mick Flannery’s gorgeous track ‘Star To Star’ was a daunting, but incredibly rewarding task. Operating with a tiny but passionate crew of four, it was a joy to undertake a real-life road trip through rural Australia to bring this music video to life, and to direct the supremely talented Makuei King Aken and Catherine Morvell.”
‘Star to Star’ features on Mick Flannery’s new album, listen/buy: https://wmi.lnk.to/mickfannery
