Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 12:59 pmI’m really surprised that no Kodaline videos made the top 10, given that it’s how they made their name. Is it because no-one liked them, or is it because that due to their major label backing, many don’t consider them to be an Irish band?

The shockingly pretty album of the same name, or even the glorious Coastal Hubs… EP which opened the year?! Selkie is one of the highlight tracks of the year.
