Busy day of news yesterday for Limerick band Windings yesterday. First of all, there’s a video for ‘The Space I Occupy’, which will form one half of a 7″ single that will be released on Out On A Limb next week. Also featured will be ‘The Hassle’. I think that [Read more]
REID has reworked two songs he debuted from his repertoire and will release them on Blah Blah Blah on February 20. But ‘Ver’ is the first proper, 100 per cent new track we’ve heard from the Cork artist/producer since that fantastic debut EP last summer. It’s going to feature as [Read more]
