Preachers Son

Brian Hogan brings a barely-contained Springsteen-style exuberance to this track from Preachers Son's impressive album Love, Life & 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.

I Love This Band: Preachers Son is Dublin-based with a grit-glam sound channeling equal parts David Bowie (especially in his Berlin phase), Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, and the Legendary Shack-Shakers. They've created a unique, hard-rock sound that positively drips with drama and raw musicality. I can't stop playing them.

One of my happiest new discoveries, I came to know Preachers Son through a blurt from Gavin Friday’s direction regarding his guest appearance on Preachers Son’s song Lipstick. I followed the trail and came to X For Sandra. It hit the same dark, western tinged, vaguely punk nerve that runs through just about every “alternative” music fan I know over 25....like anything this striking, it’s hard to pin down.

Preacher's Son is more than the sum of it's parts. With an impressive cast of guest musicians including Gavin Friday and Liam Ó'Maonlaoí and Keiran Kennedy, the sound is glam- meets-swamp rock southern gothic... All good. This one has potential to run and run.'

With his suitably gruff and character-packed vocal Hogan imbues these songs with a murky undercurrent that makes them strangely tantalizing..... a blast of vigorous bluesy guitar, '26 Years' throws down the gauntlet... 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.

"An album of swamp rock and glam-tinged garage blues...mixed by Dave Bascombe of Depeche Mode fame, it is sonically brilliant and blessed with some fantastic musicianship."

Hogan’s knack for a strong melody make for wonderful, yet menacing tunes....Love, Life, and Limb is a dirty swamp-rock album from start to finish, and one that I highly recommend checking out.

I was instantly engaged with the album from the beginning with the track '26 Years'. It's an anthem of sound with a killer chorus, great lyrics and a real heavy edge. The best songs on the album have all of these attributes such as 'X For Sandra', 'Lost My Faith' and an album highlight 'This Time of Life'... Gavin Friday assisted 'Lipstick' is a wonderfully charming song with beautifully arranged strings and delicate vocals. For me it one of the best songs released by an Irish band this year.

‘Should Have Been Gone’ is a perfect example of the hypnotic affect of Brian’s voice, there is something native and primal about his voice, something that reaches into your soul and stirs you, even if it is only for just a moment. The unbridled passion that is found in Brian’s voice is a trait that a lot of today’s music makers have lost...On a whole the album sounds like it grew from the soil of the deep south in America, raised by rebellious teenagers and aged by dying rock stars and blues musicians.

‘This Time of Life’ has quite an explosive energy, it will more than likely dig its way into your mind and stay there. Strong-lasting vocals + Spot on musical work + Motivation = A fu**ing hot track.

The sparse noir arrangement is the first of several tracks that build on atmosphere, rather than bombast. The Jarvis Cockeresque sexual paranoia of single X For Sandra is a bobbing blues boogie, sprinkled with some Bowie magic in the choruses....Lost My Faith is a rockabilly firestorm which Imelda May could only dream of producing, complete with super fast wailing guitar solos and on point horns.
