Hot Press Magazine's column by Jackie Hayden and Preachers Son selected as Pick of the Fortnight 21/06/2010
X MARKS THE SPOT
'X For Sandra' is a taster for the album Love Life and Limb, due in August from Preachers Son, who are fronted by Kíla man Brian Hogan (guitar and vocals) and Miss Metronome, formerly Emmaline Duffy-Fallon (of Engine Alley fame), on drums and vocals. A cross between Bowie, Nick Cave and VU, it's a dark work, driven by a doomy riff and punky guitar sounds. Meanwhile '26 Years' is more exuberant, with weighty vocals, craggy guitars and sizzling drums. For 'Born Another Time' they blend a little industrial influence with an early rock'n'roll '50s feel with stimulating effect. It all augurs well for the album....

Tracks featured on Spin 1038, Red FM, WLR FM, Beat FM, Radio Kerry, BBC Radio Foyle, Live 95 FM, KCLR 96FM, 90.3 FM

X FOR SANDRA - Music Review Unsigned 10/04/2010
Brian Hogan lead singer for Preachers Son imprints his voice deep like the bottom tone from a bass note and harmonizes with the high end melodies on X for Sandra, uplifting with it's moments of solemn tones, but superb vocals from the front man Brian, switching dynamics in his voice complimenting the music to it's fullest, comparison Bowie meets Nick Cave for a very elegant afternoon tea.
