Mrnorth



Colin Smith
Emmett O'Malley
Oisin O'Malley
Adrian Mordaunt



What can I tell you about Mrnorth? Well, let me say that the band itself is a bit of a mystery. Which is fine...I enjoy a good mystery! What can I tell you about their music? Spellbinding! The writing ability of Colin Smith and Oisin O'Malley is to say the least above and beyond most anything you will find in any music store today.

From the beginning of their latest CD "Fear and Desire" you are pulled into this story. It's dark and it's gut wrenching, and anyone who has ever been in a relationship will feel all those emotions come creeping back in....but its also beautiful and hypnotic and much like that relationship, you must stay till the end.

The musical talents of this band are mesmerizing and the vocal talent of Colin Smith tells me there are great things ahead for this New York based band.

"Rope"
MrNorth - Fear & Desire - Rope
"For the Moment"
MrNorth - Fear & Desire - For the Moment
or my personal favorite "Sleeping Dogs"

You can also check out Youtube and find several videos of the band. These guys have all the makings of a great band but like I said at the start, they are a bit of a mystery. So if their lives are reflected in the music they write...well this girl will be reading this bestseller from cover to cover. Enjoy...but keep the tissue handy...they're going to break some hearts!

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club







Peter Hayes

Some time ago a friend gave me a CD to listen to called B.R.M.C. by a band called Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. He assured me it was so different and I was going to like it. Well he was right, I did like it and it was different...different from what we were hearing at the time on all the radio stations. But there was something familiar in the music, it was loud, exciting, rebellious, pissed off and dangerous...oh yea danger! I loved it!

"Spread Your Love" and "Love Burns" two of my favorite songs, take me back to the time of "The Wild Ones". A biker film staring Marlon Brando, where the band discovered their name. What could be better than youth revolting against society, forbidden love, motorcycles and alcohol?

Well, finally with the release of their newest CD "Baby 81" I get to go there again! This CD is raw, take no prisoners, in your face rock and roll. Listen to "Weapon of Choice" with its political undertones about the state of the world. "Berlin" states the obvious about our society in its lyrics "fools in need, foolish to believe". And "Took Out a Loan" about all the confusion of a misunderstood relationship that we all experience somewhere in our life.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club who wrote and produced this CD just simply tells you like it is...it’s that simple! The CD is quickly climbing the charts and the band just back from Europe is touring the United States. So go jump on that Harley, pick up the CD and a six pack, go home, get out of the heat and check out the band and their music...enjoy...do you have anything better to do right now?
