Michelle Grimes Wows Across Irish Radio With Single ‘Going Going Gone’

No Comments

Hailing from Limerick, the Irish city that is producing some of the top talents in the country at the minute, multi-instrumentalist (piano, accordion and guitar!) Michelle Grimes arrived on the scene with a voice, panache and Pop / R’n’B sensibility that instantly appeals to the repeat button.

So much so that she went straight onto playlists across the country from Fm104, Live95, LMFM, Corks 96 and C103 as their Select Irish Artist of the Month aswell as gracing the airwaves across BBC (Track of the week), 2FM, Spin and many more.

No stranger to the stage, Michelle has performed in Trafalgar Square to over 20,000 spectators as part of ‘Pride in London’, has sung for the King and Queen of Belgium as well as singing for The Taoiseach and the U.S Presidential party in June last year when they visited Ireland.

Michelle just smashed it at the overall International International Radio Charts in Ireland landing at #17 on the Top 20 most played Artist on Irish radio right now sitting up there with Ariana, Joel Corry, Dermot Kennedy, Dua Lipa and other stars. She is also #8 in the Top 20 Fm104 Irish Charts across the Dublin Radio station. And in the at #3 in the breakers charts on Irish radio!!!

Michelle also counts well known celebrities as fans, the likes of Denise Van Outen described her vocal tone as simply ‘gorgeous’. Louis Walsh described her as a pure popstar who ticks all the boxes and Simon Cowell gave her the thumbs up himself!

Sounding like a hybrid of her musical influences Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa and Beyoncé, Grimes delivers a pop gem on her new single ‘Going Going Gone’.

This song is about being deeply in love. It speaks about finding a love so strong it is almost transcendent. ‘Going Going Gone’ refers to going past the point of no return in a relationship, where you realise you are completely head over heels for this person.

Grimes says: “I absolutely love ‘love’! and writing this song was such a fun and creative experience. To me, this song is essentially a modern-day love song with a strong beat and good vibe”.

‘Going Going Gone’ was Mixed by Ben Wanders and mastered by Richard at Wav Mastering and is out now, across all digital platforms.

Tabloid TV Release New Single ‘Runaways’ Sept 24th

No Comments

‘Runaways’, the lead single from TabloidTv’s debut LP “Homecoming”(Oct 23rd) is something of an outlier, unlike the dance along drumbeat and jangly indie guitar which hall marked their 2018 EP “First Night Last Night” (and which typifies the rest of their debut LP), “Runaways” plays out softer, relying on a repeated riff from guitarist Ian Rankin and Ruairi Higgins vocals.

The track uses simple lyrics about youth and wanting to escape and gradually builds to the sort of crescendo that the killers and Sharon Van Etten have made careers out of…

Recorded in Darklands Audio with Dan Doherty (Fontaine’s D.C, Vulpynes, The Family Knife) in early 2019 and mastered by Pete Maher (U2, The Pixies, Nick Cave). ‘Runaways’ is the sound of a band ready to be heard at last.

Valhalla Announce New Heart-Moving Song ‘Don’t You Ever Say’ Rel date June 12th

No Comments

Valhalla, an Alternative Rock trio from Dublin, who cite influences such as Queens Of The Stone Age, Tame Impala Foals, Idles, Kings of Leon, Elvis, and LCD Soundsystem have just announced their brand new single ‘Don’t You Ever Say’, set for release on June 12th.

The track, is a more emotive Alt-Indie rock offering, showcasing the band’s wide appeal and musicality along with highlighting and dealing with the subject matter of loss and the fragility of human suffering.

Says Mark, the lead singer, on the genesis of the new song:

“This is quite a personal song, my sister passed away when I was 12 she was just 5 at the time. I always felt that this was a conversation that people didn’t know how to approach with me & I suppose I always felt by bringing it up that this was a burden to them.

I think the overall meaning of the song is to question that idea & to remember anyone who has passed away. The verses were memories of conversations I’ve had on the topic throughout the years, the chorus is emphasizing the point of not forgetting people who have passed away & to not feel like it’s a problem to talk about them.

This is the second single from their much-anticipated debut album ‘Primal Features’ in Autumn 2020. The new music was recorded at Sonic Studios, Dublin and co-produced by Stephen Dunne. 

2019 saw the release of their debut EP “Big Men, They Fall” which was well received. The band played numerous headline shows across Ireland & the UK, including Sold Out Shows in Whelans and Bello Bar in Dublin.

With the massive change in recent weeks with the COVID_19, the band is embracing modern technology and will be hosting a series of at-home gigs where they extend an opening welcome to their fans, old and new, to emerge themselves in the process of the new album. From each band member, the band will host a series of IGTV footage from each band member with interactive workshops and sessions dismantling the album and speaking about the recording process.

Valhalla is Mark Boyle (Vocals & Guitar) Barry Monahan (Bass & Keys) and Luke Alford (Drums).
