Today I’m reacting to @SophieLloyd’s new single featuring my dear friend Michael Starr, the lead singer of Steel Panther! The song is called “Runaway” and it was only released yesterday. Some of you may already be aware of Sophie Lloyd, she’s an incredible guitar player but now she’s releasing new […]
What it’s like being one of the best drummers in the world and being considered part of rock royalty? I’m interviewing Rufus Tiger Taylor, drummer of The Darkness and according to a lot of music fans, one of the best drummers amongst us right now! We talk about how he […]
It’s time once more for me to take on a new Polyhia song. This time it’s their song “Reverie”. I have often received backlash for not “getting” Polyphia or understand their true talents, despite always being very complimentary about their style. Today, let’s try again.

Today I’m speaking with my favourite music jounalist of all time, Pat Carty, who writes for numerous outlets, but particularly Hot Press, Ireland’s leading music magazine. We discuss the merits, the pitfalls and the role of a music journalist in the music industry. Do we need them? Is it important […]
He has to be the best singer in the world right now?! He must be! Who is better? Today I’m looking at at Dimash Qudaibergen, a singer I’ve mentioned fleetingly in my podcast with Elizabeth Zharoff before. I was blown away when I saw a video of him performing this […]
