Lantern for a Gale – Self-Titled
Posted on 25th Mar 11 by Adlai McCook | 0
Joe Strummer, when talking about the importance of punk in Northern Ireland, said, “Between the bombings and shootings, the religious hatred and the settling of old scores, punk gave everybody a chance to live for one glorious burning moment.” Because of this, Belfast has always had a proud tradition of producing intelligent and raw punk [...]

The track sees the lads doing what they do best, mostly instrumental, intricate, ambient moments of quiet and apocalyptically-heavy riffs that rattle the [...]

Posted on 23rd Feb 11 by Adlai McCook | 1
Formed in 2009, Kasper Rosa have proven themselves time after time, to be one of the most intelligent and intense bands coming out of Northern Ireland right now. And their latest offering, Coronal Mass Ejection, does nothing to change this perception of them. Clocking in at over 9 minutes, it’s clear that the band isn’t [...]
