PREACHERS SON, brain child of Dubliner Brian Hogan (Kíla), hit the stage in 2009. Alongside a collective of mighty guest musicians, Preachers Son have created a unique, hard-rock sound dripping with drama and raw musicality that travels the decades with its influences. Grit / glam with craggy guitars and weighty vocals, the debut album "Love Life & Limb" was mixed by Dave Bascombe in the Metropolis studios in London (Placebo, Korn, Kylie Minogue, Goldfrapp, Depeche Mode). Released October 2010, guest artists on the album include Gavin Friday, Liam Ó Maonlaí and Kieran Kennedy.

"Brian Hogan brings a barely-contained Springsteen-style exuberance to this track from Preachers Son's impressive album Love, Life And Limb. It pulsates via a thundering multi-layered rhythm track that has echoes of Talking Heads and Phil Spector, with squabbling guitars a go-go and drums that nail your head to the floor."
HOT PRESS
"“With his suitably gruff and character-packed vocal Hogan imbues these songs with a murky undercurrent that makes them strangely tantalizing..... These kind of mammoth guitar riffs are one of this record's finest achievements, paying homage to old school blues and rock n roll without a hint of irony... a record that has soul, sensitivity and exuberance in abundance.”"
