Hitman Lord, is stylishly ambitious & distinctive in his ways. Hailed as ‘one to watch’ by Phantom FM, his music has been described as “soul, pop, rock and electronica with a unique stylistic ingredient”. His move to release an experimental album is a brave step in a time where the music industry is ever changing. That said, this artist knows that good music will be well received. On his album you can expect to find the continued standard of his previously released singles SAR & Wanna Healing Music.
His live performance powers have been described as “spiritual” and he himself has been hailed as as “the genuine article”, his distinctive voice and sound has seen him win over audiences in some of the most prestigious venues in both Ireland and over sea’s in the United Kingdom.

‘Hitman lord has a distinctive ability to match his vocals to the mood and tone of a song, fluctuating between warm, melodic and unsettling and frantic wherever it is required’. (DROP D)
“’I Drank as I..’ is an elegant, tasteful, sophisticated mid-tempo track, almost a soundtrack to a dream sequence. It is beautifully, delicately mixed. I defy you not to sway along. ‘I Drank As I’ is an excellent piece of music, proving Hitman Lord is one of the best songwriters around and a leading light for a new decade’. MUSIC REVIEW UNSIGNED

Hello good music lovers of the Nation!
Its been a busy month – and for you- here is just a little recap on the new releases:
AUDIO BULLYS:
New single Only Man (BULLYCSS1) – 22nd March
& NEW ALBUM HIGHER THAN THE EIFFEL (BULLYCD1) – 29TH MARCH
Audio Bullys preview their forthcoming new album, ‘Higher Than The Eiffel’ with a new single on 22nd March. ‘Only Man’ is a throbbing piece of electro disco, with a propulsive hook line that can’t help but put you on the dancefloor. ‘Only Man’ marks a return to the public arena for Tom Franks and Simon Dinsdale after a long hiatus in the wake of second album, ‘Generation’.
Their new album will be out on 29th March. ‘Higher Than The Eiffel’ follows a four year gap since the pair’s second album, ‘Generation’ and sees Simon Franks and Tom Dinsdale recapture the energy and dance floor instincts that made Audio Bullys one of the most successful UK dance acts of the previous decade. Mixing their love of house and breaks with an expansive cast list of musical collaborators, switching across dance’s myriad genres and throwing away the rule book has led Audio Bullys to make their finest record to date, a worthy successor to breakthrough debut ‘Ego War’ and follow up ‘Generation’, which spawned the massive worldwide hit, ‘Shot You Down’.

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,’
