Top 5..

Wow nearly three months since my last blog post. Apologies, I’ve been quite neglectful but things have been busy. I’m currently working towards recording a demo with my band. It’s taking up a lot of my time but it’s been a lot of fun. So on that note and to get me back in to [...]

As you are probably well aware of by now, DJ Mehdi passed away on Tuesday, he was just 34 years old. Allegedly the roof collapsed at his home in France during a party, he was fatally injured. So young and such a huge loss! Thoughts are with his family, friends and all at Ed Banger [...]

Interview w/ Scott Kelly (Neurosis)

KVX to call it a day…

Cork based five piece KVX are going their separate ways. Disappointing to hear but with guitarist Ciara Scally moving to China and their final year at college on the horizon, it seems the girls have made the right decision. No stranger to Cork’s music scene, KVX have been together since they were just wee lassies [...]
