<span style="font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Saturday evening and the venue was the Wicked Chicken venue in the
Cuckoo’s Nest on Dublin’s Southside. The
event was the launch night of a new promotions company in <b>LEKMK Promotions</b>.
Joint organisers Phil Kealy and Mick Cummins have been doing this for nearly a
year but have now put their stamp on the venue market and will host a number of
gigs at the Cuckoo’s Nest venue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The first band of the night <b>Penrose, </b>are the type of band
who will get the real benefit of a venue on their doorstep. There are plenty of
bands out there just looking for this opportunity but the stage was not there.
But thanks to LEKMK the opportunity may finally come knocking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

from a guitar duo comprising of Darragh McGrane and Philip O'Luanaigh who began
their journey in 2012 to more recently adding a drummer (Jeff) to add the final
piece of the puzzle. <b>Penrose </b>have a deep mid 90’s Brit-Pop sound
comprising of several discernible influences of the era. The place was full by
the time Penrose came to the stage to warm the crowd up for what was to follow.
Kicking off with the first of several originals including ‘Your Past’, ‘Feel
the Love’ and the sublime ‘It Ain’t Country’. They may be a bit rough around the edges but
that’s to be expected considering the recent addition, but there is this
glimmer from the band, mainly from frontman Philip O'Luanaigh and his tireless vocals
that make you stand up and take notice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Having
only been together for a few years, their fluidity and tightness on stage was
something to behold. The vocals of Richardson and their all-round musicality was
immense. <b>LCE’s </b>sound is again very Brit-Pop but with the addition of 80’s
Mods and modern Rock it gives them the full rock sound. The band has an obvious
following which was evident as the dedicated crowd sang along to ‘Forever Now’
and ‘Everything you thought you had’. <b>Late
City Edition</b> are all set to release their next single ‘She Saves My Soul’
in early October.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The main act of the evening was none other than Meteor award
winning <b>Paddy Casey</b>. Accompanied on the piano he played a 2 hour
acoustic set which was unsurprisingly faultless. <b>Paddy</b> was banging out
the hits like ‘Addicted to Company and ‘Lucky One’ early on, to really get the
crowd in the mood for more. Keeping the
fast pace going with the groovy ‘Not out to get you’ which really got the
dancers at the front in full swing. Encouraging the crowd, <b>Casey</b> played
the choruses of the not so well known or new tracks to get people to sing along
at the vital times, to keep the party atmosphere going. This set was not surprising,
it was perfect in its execution but we’d accept nothing less from this big name
on the Irish music scene.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

No doubt their date books will be full very soon. One thing is for certain, if Phil & Mick
can put on more nights like tonight then the will have nothing to worry about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Museo 500'; font-size: 19px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">Alternative music has needed a bit of a shake up in recent times and O Emperor have set out the stalls with this latest release. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: 'Museo 500'; font-size: 19px; line-height: 21px;">The album opens beautifully with 'Grandmother Mountain', but it doesn't take long to hear the humour in the lyrics (get me back to my </span><span style="font-family: 'Museo 500'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>gutbucket bedsit where I can smell the shit in the city air</i>)</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Museo 500'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">The album continues with hints of Fleet Foxes in 'Whitener (Part1)' to certain 60's influences in 'Minuet'</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Museo 500'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">Vitreous is quite a short album, just coming in shy of 30 minutes for the 9 tracks. But there are plenty of stand out tracks to rave about. The wonderful vocals on 'Soft in the head' and the raw energy of contact. But I could not leave this review without mentioning the closing track 'This is it'. This track shows the bands maturity from their debut album. </span></span></div>

Reminiscent of 'the xx' with improved vocals, Colour The Atlas are all set to release their second EP 'Building Skyscrapers'. Their self titled EP released in 2012 was an accomplished success reaching no.2 on iTunes singer/songwriter chart.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Lead vocals this time coming from Alex Stone. The EP closes with the acoustic 'Rise'. </span><span style="font-family: 'Museo 500'; font-size: 19.09090805053711px; line-height: 21.81818199157715px;">Once again Hall showing her fantastic vocal ability. </span></span></div>

Tom Mitchell has finally released his eagerly awaited debut album 'New World'.
A year in the making, Mitchell has come a long way since his 5 track EP
'Ruthless Thing', further perfecting his own sound.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

creation of this album by "2 awesome musicians' in the form of harmonious
vocalist Sarah Proudfoot and on harmonica, Henry Slim. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

indie to pop and back to folk. A really good mixture and shows the versatility
of Mitchell</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

writing is how personal it is to him. Each song with it's own little journey.
The stand out track for me is 'From Experience'. I nearly got up and had a

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For this installment of Album in the Car (AITC), we have another Irish Folk act. I must be in some sort of 'folky' mood at the minute seeing as the last 2 AITC's have been folk artists. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So this time around it's singer/songwriter Lisa Hannigan and her second studio album 'Passenger'. Released in 2011, the Choice Music Prize nominated album was preceded by the clever video for 'Knots' (which you can view below).</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The album contains a duet with American artist Ray LaMontagne, 'O Sleep'. Their voices complimenting each other so well like Hannigan had previously with Damien Rice as a member of his band.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The stand out tracks for me on the album are 'Little Bird' which would bring a tear to a budgie's glass eye and the beautifully upbeat and lyrically clever 'What'll I Do'. </span><span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: 'Museo 500'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Overall, this is a sensational album and one of my 'desert island discs' albums. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I have been to several benefit nights over the years. Some similar to last night where other artists come and sing their favourite song by that artist. Nine times out of ten they are a dull affair but last night was that one out of ten time. The atmosphere in the Olympia Theatre last night can only be described as electric. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The night began with the showing of the Aslan Documentary, 'Please Don't Stop'. At about 8.30, Guggi - who was MC for the night - introduced the band members of Aslan to the stage. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The first guest of the night was Paul Walsh of Royseven. Paul gave a fantastic rendition of 'Gotta Make It'. A good start to the night to get the crowd warmed up. Followed by Riptide Movement and the exciting newcomer to Irish music scene Gavin James with his version of 'Chains'.</span></span></div>

When the MC came on and said "And now for something completely different" the whole place screamed. Jedward came onto the stage and if I'm honest, surprised me as they nailed 'She's So Beautiful'.

As her son had done earlier, Mary Black came to the stage, along with Don Mescall to perform a song written by Mescall 'Too Late for Hallelujah'. Former Westlife singer Mark Feehily came on stage and showed the crowd his vocal ability on 'Where's the Sun'. </span></span><br />

Today FM DJ Tony Fenton came on to talk about the struggle he shares with Christy, their joint battle with Cancer. He talked about having Billy from Aslan in the studio during the week and talking to him about Christy. Billy remarked to him that Christy not being there was like 'Soldiers missing their Commander in Chief'.</span></span><br />

He proclaimed playing with the Aslan band was like 'Cheating' and like 'Driving someone else's car'. Billy shouts over to him, 'At least you can sing a decent song for a change'. The whole place erupted in laughter. Tom sang 'Rainman' and certainly did it justice. </span></span><br />

The big screen comes on again and Bono appears. U2 live from </span><span style="font-family: 'Museo 500'; font-size: 16.363636016845703px; line-height: 18.18181800842285px;">Electric Lady Studios in New York with 'This Is'. I wouldn't be the biggest fan of U2 but it was superb. </span></span><br />

Appearing from the darkness was Christy himself. He came on to thank everyone for their contribution to a great night. His suit jacket then came off as the opening chords of 'Crazy World' blasted out. With his theatrical hand movements detailing everything in the song, it was just like the Christy of old. What a wonderful end to the evening.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Museo 500'; font-size: 16.363636016845703px; line-height: 18.18181800842285px;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></span>

To put it mildly, the place was hopping from start to finish. Was great to see Christy back on stage again. Get well soon Christy and hopefully we'll see you back on stage soon doing what you love with the people you love performing with, Billy, Alan, Joe and Rodney.</span></span><br />

Ireland's music industry has to offer will all come together for this special

<a href="http://www.kodaline.com/imagesizer/KODALINE_in_a_perfect_world_web-500x500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.kodaline.com/imagesizer/KODALINE_in_a_perfect_world_web-500x500.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #c6d9f1; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 51;">So
it's been a long time coming, delayed for months, then weeks, then days and
finally Kodaline's debut album 'In a Perfect World' is upon us. Personally I've
been looking forward to this for an age. I just wanted to hear more and more
from the band and with every new EP/Single release it gave me the 'fix' I
craved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #c6d9f1; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 51;">So now I have it in my hands (figuratively) and I've
listened to it through a couple of times. The question on everyones lips is,
Was it worth the wait?...... Definitely<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #c6d9f1; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 51;">I hadn't seen so much hype in a band before they'd even
had an album out and I guess that's why getting this release as fine-tuned as
possible in their eyes was a good reason for the delays. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #c6d9f1; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 51;">So, the album (track listing below) starts off with the
lovely (yeah lovely!) 'One Day'. Continues then with 3 songs that have flooded
the airwaves in recent months in 'All I Want', 'Love Like This' and 'High
Hopes'. The album just flows wonderfully. The songs I'd not heard previously
live up to everything previous. The album is clean cut and perfectly produced. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #c6d9f1; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 51;">Having constantly listened to the EP's it would be hard
to pick a best track on the album, so I will choose one from those I'd not
heard before. So the stand out for me would be 'Pray'. Strong drums, great
vocals. What's not to like.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #c6d9f1; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 51;">The long and short of it is, do Kodaline have their own
unique sound? Yes and No. But just because they don't completely, doesn't take
away from how good the album is. We all draw different influences in things we
do in life and songwriters are no different. You'll get the subtle hints of
Coldplay or Snow Patrol, or the not so subtle hints of Mumford and Sons (Love
Like This). But all those mentioned sound like someone else in their own way
and them like some other and so on.....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #c6d9f1; font-family: "Museo 500"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 51;">Should you get this album, a massive yes. If you're not
sure you can listen to it online first before making your decision but you will
not be disappointed. It's a feel good lovey rock summer record. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mainly because I wasn't working and was barely in the car. So, having been back this week I went through the collection and picked this.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fionn Regan - The End of History (2006). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fionn Regan is an Folk songwriter from Bray, Co Wicklow. I remember when this album first came out and really disliking 'Penny in the slot' when I first heard it on the radio. I've no particular reason why I did but for some reason it stuck in my head. Heard it a few times more and found myself singing along to eventually really liking it and wanting to hear more from him.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I bought the album and the rest is history as they say. The album opens with the brilliant - and my now favourite track from the album - 'Be Good or Be Gone' and continues in the same vein. But strangely unlike a lot of other folk artists he manages to make each and every song original, each it's own uniqueness, made especially difficult because of his distinctive voice.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are 11 great songs on this album, of 13 songs (keep your ear out for the fantastic 'Campaign Button', which is a hidden track at the end of the album).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another recommended listen.</span></div>

Week Beginning 10-6-13<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Interesting and mixed week of gigs ahead. </span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Monday kicks us off with Californian Metal band Slayer who come to the Academy in Dublin tonight. Tickets €42.50 (also Tuesday at same venue)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tuesday: Canadian Folk artist Cara Luft performs at the Locke Bar in Limerick. Tickets priced at €13.50</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For Wednesday I've gone for something a little different. Captains Live is a weekly mixture of bands and DJ's in Captain Americas in Blanchardstown, Dublin. Held in the Suas bar on top of the restaurant, it's perfect for the summer nights. Entry on the night is only €5. PS: Captains do great beer and cocktail deals.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thursday sees more metal to the stages of Ireland with Mastadon hitting the Academy in Dublin. Well if Slayer fans don't totally destroy the place on Monday and Tuesday. Tickets for Mastadon are on sale on <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.ie/Mastodon-tickets/artist/842079" target="_blank">Ticketmaster</a> and priced at €29. (Mastodon also play Friday at the same venue)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For the weekend we have some 'Big Shots' playing on these shores. It begins on Friday with Robbie Williams at the Aviva (Lansdowne Rd) Stadium, Not everyone's cup of tea but a good entertainer all the same. Tickets are still available for this priced at €69.50 to €129.50</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Saturday is the big one for a lot of people with the return of " Rock Gods" Bon Jovi. This time they take on Slane Castle in Co Meath. Reading reviews of their RDS gigs in 2011 they seemed to impress so maybe this is the gig of the week for most. Tickets are available from <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.ie/bon-jovi-because-we-can-co-meath-06-15-2013/event/18004962E1EF70C3?artistid=944745&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1" target="_blank">Ticketmaster</a> and are pried at €79 to €96.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you're over the other side of the country Fight Like Apes play Roisin Dubh in Galway on Saturday night. Tickets €14.85</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To finish off the week there are a few decent shows to see. To start off we have O Emperor in Tower Records, Wicklow St. Dublin for a store session at 1pm (Free), or you can see The Wanted in the Marquee in Cork (show from 6.30pm, tickets priced at €44.05) and to finish off head to the last day of the Doolin Folk Festival in Doolin Hotel Co. Clare. (Weekend tickets €59, Day tickets €29)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Have a great week, share and leave comments on your own recommendations for the week.</span></span><br />

<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/16/Queens_of_the_Stone_Age_-_%E2%80%A6Like_Clockwork.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/16/Queens_of_the_Stone_Age_-_%E2%80%A6Like_Clockwork.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's been 6 years since Queens of the Stone Age released their last album Era Vulgaris, but this was certainly worth the wait. The first few songs on '...Like Clockwork' feel like QOTSA have picked up exactly where they left off in 2007, but as you progress through the album the mood changes. For me it sounds like Homme was listening to a lot of Bowie while writing the album. The song 'The Vampyre Of Time And Memory' kicks this off and I had to check to make sure I had put on the right album and not drifted into Bowie's back catalogue. The album continues in the same vein until the final few songs until it returns to classic Queens once more. Not to say that this middle section is bad, it's not, it's great (Even though I wouldn't be a huge fan of Bowie). It's just different, but Homme puts his own stamp on it, his fantastic eerie voice ghosts through each song.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Former QOTSA band members Nick Oliveri and Mark Lanegan appear on the album as backing vocalists. Former Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters lead Dave Grohl also makes an appearance, playing drums on most of the album after Homme had sacked drummer Joey Castillo during recording. Arctic Monkeys front man Alex Turner also appears on the album, co-writing 'Kalopsia' and backing vocals and guitar on 'If I had a Tail'.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After listening to the album for the fourth time today, I've been trying to find reasons not to like it. I can't find any. The album doesn't present itself as great and shouldn't be, but it just is. It's not as heavy or grungy as former QOTSA albums but it works.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Give it a listen, it will grow on you</span><br />
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<a href="http://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-000045887910-rr2zon-original.jpg?9d68d37" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-000045887910-rr2zon-original.jpg?9d68d37" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In anticipation of their forthcoming release of their debut album 'In a Perfect World', Dublin natives Kodaline have released a 4 track EP titled. 'Love Like This'. </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">'Love Like This' is the latest single to be released from the band and as with all previous releases, it doesn't disappoint, far from it actually. To put it simply this is another great single from one the most anticipated debut albums for me. I was disappointed when the album release was delayed by a couple of months but obviously the lads weren't completely happy with it and went back and have made it all it can be. So in the meantime they have delighted us with some great singles and EP's and if you follow their website (www.kodaline.com) you will see the Kodamap where they were writing a song for each state they visited in the USA.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The EP contains the above single, an acoustic version of the single and 2 other tracks, 'What it is' and 'Midnight'. </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For me 'What it is' sounds a lot like a Coldplay song. I mean that in the nicest possible sense. Has the epic soft rock sound to it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">'Midnight' is a softer folkier number. One of the finer points of Kodaline is their fantastic harmonies and they are definitely on show in this song.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The acoustic version of 'Love Like This' that finishes off the EP is haunting and beautiful at the same time. Steve really shows how good he is with this vocal performance.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">'Love Like This' EP is available from the </span><span style="color: cyan;"><a href="http://www.myplaydirect.com/kodaline">Official Kodaline Store</a>.</span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> You can also pre-order 'In a Perfect World' on there too. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I hope to have a review of the album up here next week too. Or before<i> maybe *ahem / *hint!! </i></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i><span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Overall a very good EP, a great taster for the release of the album. Definitely recommend it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">8/10</span><br />
