Ocean Colour Scene – Saturday 09 Mar 2010

While the heady days of TFI Friday and mainstream success are long gone, mod torch bearers Ocean Colour Scene have done an admirable job in staying the course. Saturday is their ninth record (count ‘em!), and if you liked their previous output then you’ll probably find lots of merit on the 16-track slab of wax.

Best tune by far is the Showaddywaddy-esque boogie of ‘Saturday,’

Full review here: http://www.hotpress.ie/archive/6301769.html

Thanks to Ed for reviewing the album, he also has a fab blog here: http://edwinmcfee.wordpress.com/

Busy month here at Good Seed HQ as we move along with new releases.

COLM LYNCH- RELEASES SINGLE KISS MY BLUES AWAY March 26th and announces April 22nd Village show in Dublin.

Meteor Nominee COLM LYNCH: AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV TG4 TODAY FM, RTE RADIO1, IRADIO AND BBC
The new single KISS MY BLUES AWAY is certainly a vast testament to Colm’s musical ability. Radio stations such as TODAY FM, F104, iRadio, RTE Radio1, 98FM and more have recently invited Colm in to celebrate his new single and to show their support. Remaining true to his philosophy that ‘a good song should have a strong melody and meaningful lyrics’, this critically acclaimed artist is eager to impress with his latest offering. If recent raving reviews from the Times, The Irish Independent, Hotpress, The Star and more are anything to go by, this album is certainly set to please and win over old and indeed new fans. Colm recently performed in the RDS to over 16,000 spectators at the interval of The Leinster Rugby Game after being invited by the organisers. he was also recently Nominated for Best newcomer Award at The Meteors. He will be performing a very special showcase on April 22nd in The Village on Wexford Street Dublin.

HITMAN LORD- RELEASE ‘I DRANK AS I’ MARCH 26TH- EXCLUSIVE RTE 2FM SESSION MARCH 8TH FROM 9PM -11PM

The Sunday Independent declared that “Hitman Lord’s sound will make people sit up and take notice”. HOTPRESS have said that he is “The genuine article, making the most delicious pop music from this island at the moment or anywhere for that matter” And by the way Radio has been reacting to his latest single- it’s looking like the Hitman is gathering a name for himself….With his stunning new Single and his imminent album release in the next few months, Hitman Lord will be touring and dropping by your local radio station.

Birmingham’s emperors of rock’n’folk Ocean Colour Scene are back with their ninth studio album, entitled Saturday (COOKCD511).

In the two years since 2007’s On The Leyline – described by Uncut as their “career best” – they’ve played with thrash metal bands in Korea, stolen the show at this year’s ‘V’ (where they were named ‘Band Of The Festival’ by Radio 2 and Absolute Radio) and later this month will jet off for a debut show in Dubai.

From the opening bars of  psych-folk opener ‘100 Floors Of Perception’ – written by Simon about the on-going financial crisis – to epic climax ‘Rockfield’  (think ‘Baba O’Riley’ meets ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’), it’s a reminder than when it comes to delivering  classic rock hooks there is simply no one better.  Denim-driven boogie ‘Old Pair Of Jeans’ (written by Bennett) will delight those hankering for the full-tilt mod-pop of ‘For Dancers Only’, while Harry Kidnap’ (written in tribute to John Weller) boasts shades of North Atlantic Drift stand-out ‘Make The Deal’.

Lyrical themes ranging from Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist (‘Mrs Maylie’)  to the British way of life ( standout ‘Village Life’), meanwhile, are a reminder of  Simon’s acute observational eye.

Musically, it’s just as impressive.  Listen close and you’ll hear echoes of  everyone from Simon & Garfunkel to Mott The Hoople and Vivaldi in these loose-limbed grooves,  not to mention  trippy string sections, sky-scraping ‘Great Gig In The Sky’ backing vocals, punk riffs and even the occasional burst of mandolin.

Surefire smash ‘Magic Carpet Days’, meanwhile (key lyric: “The world won’t shake you/Knock you down and break you/I’ll steer you through these magic carpet days”) is a reminder that their belief in the Mod aesthetic of self-improvement remains as strong as ever.

With a full U.K tour booked for early next year, OCS will be celebrating in style. But before then…and

In the meantime, they’ll see you in Ireland in The Olympia on Saturday.

Dinosaur Big Life Music ****

These Northerners arrive relatively unheralded and unhyped, which is a good thing. Unlike the other Northern Irish band of the moment (Two Door Cinema Club) John, Shelly + the Creatures let the music talk, and the result is more conversational and casual than in your face. The fact is that songs such as Cold War, Sunny Side Street, Sight of Your Chest, Killer, Frost and Long May You Reign do what really good songs should: sneak up on you, twist preconceptions, change your mind and then take it over. The range of instruments in use, including flugelhorn, mandolin, cello, viola, violin, glockenspiel and xylophone, indicates not so much an everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach (which would usually be the case) but an exceptional grasp of texture, tone and theme. A shoe-in for next year’s Choice Music Prize nominations list? See www.johnshellyandthecreatures.com TONY CLAYTON-LEA

*Colm will perform in the RDS at the Leinster V Scarlets Rugby game to over 20,000 people on Feb 20^th 2010*

Colm has been Described as “…Singer songwriting savior…” by The Irish Times

The release of the critically acclaimed first album put his vocal and songwriting skills on show to the nation for the first time. It received glowing plaudits from the likes of Dave Fanning, Hotpress, The Irish Times, In Dublin and a host of other people and publications. It was Album of the Week on Larry Gogan’s 2FM Radio show. Singles released from the album got extensive airplay on national and local radio. He also won the Balcony TV Best Male Award in 2007.

His current album, being his second studio album titled: Tickety-Boo, is picking up where he left off. While more polished, it still possesses the same characteristics that made his debut such a winner. Whether in a mellow mood or just plain aggressive, the music always comes from the heart. This is plain to see when witnessed in live performances. TICKETY BOO- is now available Nationwide and on iTunes. Remaining true to his philosophy that ‘a good song should have a strong melody and meaningful lyrics’, the ten track album features hit singles “It’s Coming Down” (previously playlisted on TODAY FM and 2FM) and the RTE playlisted “If I was In Your Shoes”.

Anyone expecting to see a singer-songwriter soulfully whispering into a microphone should think again. This will be a fevered, rock n’ roll affair! After all, there are only two schools of thought on Colm Lynch’s music: those who are confirmed fans and those who haven’t heard him yet!

Whether playing to hundreds of people in venues like Vicar St. Dublin or to a tiny audience somewhere off the beaten track, Lynch always delivers a memorable performance. Resting easy among his musical peers, Lynch has supported acts as diverse as The Blizzards, Julie Feeney, Kate Walsh, Aslan, John Power, Foy Vance and Mundy.

Starting 2010 off in style, Colm Lynch and his 8 piece band gathered in Studio 7 RTE Radio 1 two weeks ago, after being invited in by legendary DJ and TV host Pat Kenny. Performing the new single Kiss my Blues Away and If I was in Your Shoes, Colm and his band gave the performance of their lifetime and quite possibly one of the best Radio performances of the year.

You can here his RTE performance here: http://soundcloud.com/goodseedpr/sets/colm-lynch-rte-session

“The video is 35 mins long – you can minimise and listen if that’s easier. It was, genuinely one of the most interesting and candid interviews I’ve had the pleasure to do, and it’s Eleanor’s only media engagement before her trip to Australia”.- Darragh Doyle

Colm Lynch album review- taken from TheMutation.com

Colm Lynch
New album: Tickety Boo

One thing is for certain, Colm Lynch & his eight piece band know how to perform- and on this album the singer songwriter is anxious to impress. Whether it is by singing his heart out or banging the hell out his guitar, he has set his goals on achieving something rather significant. But has he done it?

YES, and why, because he took his time, he learned his trade, he gigged and gigged and gigged and found out what people want out of a li ve performance and condensed it into an album. Three years after the release of his debut record, A Whisper in a Riot, Tickety Boo is telling of the singers personal progression and is an album that deserves not to be ignored, and one that simply demands your attention.

I actually do not think this man knows how to do things half ways, as he has a straight up- ‘what you see is what you get’ kind of persona. He is in it for t he music and nothing else. This much is obvious in his live shows. You wont find Colm at the opening of every envelope, but given the chance to rock an event, he’ll be there with guitar in hand and with his enormous eight piece extravagantly brilliant roots band (banjo, fiddle, sax, lead guitar, harmonica, strings, drums… the list goes on…). All this in the mix, proves a cocktail for a great night out or a great listen on speakers. Lynch’s voice is all ‘throat and gravel’ and on this record he is definitely pushing every bit of himself to the limit. Sounding at times like he has sang through the night and indulged in a bottle of whiskey and about 80 ciggies….But it’s ok, cause for this man it just works.

It would be very easy for me to draw easy stylistic comparisons with anyone from Springstein, Dylan and Steve Earl, but one must remember that this man is in his twenties and is Irish, not a child of the American rock-folk movement of the 60’s. It’s all there – the passion, the sound and the performance, but the songs themselves do take a few listens to nuzzle into the epicentre of what the man, the singer is trying to achieve, give it a few listens, it demands it. And when it all clicks in, trust me you will be checking the online tour dates.

COLM LYNCH also releases New single ‘Kiss My Blues Away’ Out March 26th taken from current album TICKETY BOO- Album Includes:  ‘It’s Coming down’ playlisted on Today Fm & 2FM & the RTE playlisted  track ‘If I was In Your Shoes’

Starting 2010 off in style, Colm Lynch and his 8 piece band gathered in Studio 7 RTE Radio 1 two weeks ago, after being invited in by legendary DJ and TV host Pat Kenny. Performing the new single Kiss my Blues Away and If I was in Your Shoes, Colm and his band gave the performance of their lifetime and quite possibly one of the best Radio performances of the year. The RTE session can be heard here: http://soundcloud.com/goodseedpr/sets/colm-lynch-rte-session

RTE’s Pat Kenny described Colm’s music as “SUPER MUSIC”

The Irish Times describe him as a“…Singer songwriting savior…”

What’s She doing here?

The Debut album Release Date April 2^nd 2010.

“They sing, they write. . . they’re pretty good. One of Ireland’s most promising Act’s!”’ THE IRISH TIMES ‘Custom Made for Radio, expect to hear a lot more from Mugger Dave’- HOTPRESS.

Press Release: Mugger Dave have been hailed as ‘One of Ireland’s most promising Act’s!’ by The Irish Times, and given their ability to write and record ‘Custom Made songs for Radio’ (HOTPRESS), we can expect to hear a lot more from this Galwegian trio upon the release of their album What’s she doing here? On April the 2^nd 2010. The band, while preparing for the release of their debut album, where heard by a scout at a gig in Dublin, and later signed a licensing agreement with the US licensing company The Music Playground (partners to THE LODGE who are teamed up with Chrysalis Music Group to Create New Arrangements of Top Catalog Songs for Advertising, Film and TV). Mugger Dave are delighted to be amongst their stable of artists including Blondie, GenerationX & Willie Nelson. Their singles ‘Got A Lot On My Mind’ & ‘Crawl Up’ received regular airtime on Phantom FM, RTE2XM, Beat FM, WLRFM, LIVE95 and many more radio stations across Ireland. They where also awarded “Single of the Week” on Radio Na Life. They have performed live on TG4’s Sile show, and were invited to perform in the IMRO Showcase tour. Their song, ‘My Life In Circles’, was also featured on the IMRO Showcase CD and distributed nationally with the Daily Star newspaper.

Pop/Rock trio ‘Mugger Dave’ comprise of Simon Noble (Lead Vocals / Guitar), Seán Herriott (Bass / Backing Vocals) & Níall Curran (Drums). The band’s intention from the start was to play a collection of pop songs as loud and as forcibly as possible by a power trio. The group’s collective experience shows in the tightness of their performance, with all three members knowing exactly what they want to create: a hard-hitting rock band, with catchy, feel-good melodies reminiscent of the Kinks, underlined by driving bass lines and a heavy, no-nonsense, drumbeat. Their energetic live shows are driven by the powerhouse rhythm section and overlaid with unique melodies and imaginative harmonies. Front man Simon Noble describes their lyrics as being “an infectious blend of coy coyness and social satire”.

‘Listen hard and listen well’- is their request to you.
