Bodies - Slave Radio Edit - 12.02.18

'2014' is the third single taken from First Class & Coach's album, The Truth About Honey. (℗ 2019 I am Surprised Records)

First Class & Coach are Reuben Maher (guitar, keys, vocals), Geraldine Thomas (vocals), Jonathan Parson (bass) and Andrew McNeilage (drums).

Pushing the boundaries of the alt-rock genre, the band’s sound encompasses reverb-drenched piano, distorted, squalling guitars, driving bass and muscular drums all punctuated by uncompromising German and English vocals.

Having played in bands for 20+ years in NYC (Toulouse, Poka Poka, The Blam) Reuben enters West Cork with a wall of noise.

Geraldine hails from Berlin and has long been song-writing and performing live music in many guises.

Tapping into his experience as a motion graphics director, Jonathan brings his visual projections to the live shows, creating an immersive live experience.

Andrew is a recent graduate from BIMM Dublin and brings his experience from local bands in West Cork since he was a young fella.

Moon Looks On - Friends Keep Dropping

Avant garde pop purveyors, Pinhole, release the second single from their long-awaited album, Come Curious, which is set for release on Friday 20th March and will be celebrated by the band touring Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway. 

Better Than One is a song written by vocalist and violinist Ciara O’Flynn in the wake of the death in 2012 of Savita Halapanver and ahead of the subsequent referendum on the repeal of the Eight Amendment to Ireland’s constitution. 

With another General Election just behind us, this is a  timely release of a song written close to eight years ago. Ciara says: “At the time, I was hit again and again by how our publicly-elected representatives seemed to have no spines. In frustration, I was lamenting the lack of strong, leaders guided by their own moral compasses."

With influences from Stump to Charles Mingus, Pinhole have been likened to a reinvented Kate Bush, Jenny Wilson, PJ Harvey, Portishead and London Grammar. From the most delicate melodies to raw mayhem, they deliver the musical equivalent of a dark fairytale. 

The band, from Cork and Dublin, have built a strong reputation  on the back of their theatrical, energetic live shows. The fact that they booked Other Voices, had their music featured in the RTÉ television series ‘Striking Out’ and have received glowing critical reviews all on the strength of these live shows and just one previously-released single speaks volumes.
