“Kicks”-Debut Album from Irish Musician "The Vinylheads"-Out Sep 1st 2015

"The Vinylheads" is the pop/rock music project of Irishman Col Patterson.

Col is influenced by Paul Weller, The Kinks, The Killers, The Doors, The Stranglers, among others.

In 2012, supported by his Monaghan and Roscommon cousins, a wedding jam session turned into regular practice sessions and eventually, some original tracks. Recorded at JAM Studios in Co. Meath by Producer Martin Quinn, “Kicks”(The Album) is the result.

In December 2014, the title single, “Kicks” was chosen by BBC 6music for airplay by Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq and was Legend Tom Robinson’s Recommends “Pick of the Week”.

Danny Gandolfi from Musicnews.com described another single "Pear" as…
.."a catchy pop song, with great jangly melodic guitar and neat, clever chord changes (reminding me of ‘The Undertones’), slowly building up, veering towards a rousing chorus and uplifting close."

The Vinylheads supported Midge Ure at the Fortstock festival in Co Monaghan June 2014. Col hopes to play tracks from the album live and release his second album in 2016.

“Kicks”, the debut Album is out Sep 1st 2015 on all digital platforms. 
Lead Track is “To Kill A Giant”, deals with Col’s personal experience of a “One Punch/Coward” Attack, the aftermath of which caused him many years of mental distress.

KICKS

“Kicks”-Debut Album from Irish Musician "The Vinylheads"-Out Sep 1st 2015

"Kicks" is the debut pop/rock music project of Irishman Col Patterson. 

Col is influenced by Paul Weller, The Kinks, The Killers, The Doors, The Stranglers, among others.

Reviews:

Frank Hughes of GoldenPlec.com said of Kicks: 

 "Over the course of ten songs, The Vinylheads take elements of Brit pop circa The Boo Radleys mixed with the Americana tinged rock sensibilities of The Hold Steady. The melding of both styles from opposite sides of the Atlantic is largely successful. 

 At times, it’s perky and bouncing like a kid on a sugar rush on If I Should and Dream Speed Away before changing gears to more anthemic, atmospheric tunes like To Kill A Giant." 

 Colm O'Hare of Hotpress Said: 

 "Strong Debut By Irish Outfit-"Kicks" -Patterson's commanding voice comes across as a blend of Paul Weller and Psychedelic Furs' Richard Butler...the energy of Punk and classic Rock, all imbued with a distinctly Irish Flavour...it all adds up to an impressive debut by any measure" 


 In December 2014, the title single, “Kicks” was chosen by BBC 6music for airplay by Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq and was Legend Tom Robinson’s Recommends “Pick of the Week”.

TO KILL A GIANT

Motions

The new release is finally here! We got back in the studio recently for the fun of it and toyed around with the idea of doing another cover...with Aiman taking lead on the vocals! After messing around for a couple of hours, this was the result, and we've decided to share it with all of you. Pagi Yang Gelap is such a phenomenal song coming from such a phenomenal local act, and it's a great honour to be able to cover it. We hope you enjoy it!
