Tyler McLoughlan, Journalist

Reviews / Album
Wye Oak - Shriek
Showcases a refreshing vocal freedom from Wasner. On the whole though, a less engaging effort.
Features / Music
Student Of Sound
"I also came through being a house DJ and think there’s quite a lot of relevance between soul and house in terms of piano lines and groove."
Reviews / Album
The Afghan Whigs - Do To The Beast
It’s best summed up by Dulli himself on the sonic grandeur of It Kills: “Over and over I get to know myself”.
Reviews / Album
Bonjah - Beautiful Wild
The underlying ethos of Bonjah prevails – just let loose and go with the flow.

Guards Of May, Dollarosa, The Hungry Mile, Magnets
Though the five-piece, ably led by fold-back straddling frontman Richie Harvey, who possesses a frightenly deadpan stare, keep up a largely high-energy performance throughout.
Reviews / Album
Manchester Orchestra - Cope
Trees does too, showing for a moment the outfit’s wonderfully gentle side, though this record is driven by extraordinary ferocity – it’s a beast. Listen loud.
Features / Music
No Frills
"I wouldn’t say there’s any album getting planned or any official plans yet but we’ve been definitely makin’ new tracks and trying to write some songs."
Reviews / Album
Tjintu Desert Band Tjamuku Ngurra
The sound of central Australia.

An Irishman In Australia
"We went about the best of like it was a gig, like we were writing a setlist."
Reviews / Album
Dewayne Everettsmith - Surrender
It is lovely though to finally hear Everettsmith let loose, shaking off some the adult contemporary appeal with the rhythmic roots-style Whisper.
Reviews / Album
Damien Dempsey - It’s All Good: The Best Of Damien Dempsey
a lure for old fans as he dons his seanchaí hat to pay tribute to the Irish soldiers of Mexico in St Patrick’s Brave Brigade, alongside fellow new track, Happy Days.
Reviews / Live
Dolly Parton
Even though her voice seems to defy her age and her enviable stage energy is as bubbly and vivacious as a teen, she could have simply talked for the whole show and the audience would have been as equally captivated. Dolly Parton – just wow.
