Episode 59 of the Nialler9 podcast has Andrea and Niall are reviewing yet another hyped Irish guitar band’s debut album. It’s The Murder Capital’s When I Have Fears. The Dublin five-piece have only been active since early 2018 to the public, and they have released their Flood-produced debut album. Is it too soon? Are they really comparable to Idles and Shame, or it is all just lumpen unnecessary hype? Is the album any good? We find out.
We also have tracks up for discussion from Kojaque & Luka Palm, Kim Gordon, Mix & Fairbanks and Girl Band.
Also, Cardi B tells the NYPD to “suck a fart”, Niall shares his Another Love Story Festival love, Justin Vernon talks tweeting regret, Cheryl Cole is no longer relevant according to an authorative source, Billie Eilish breaks a new record and Neil Young is upset over Spotify and Facebook’s user agreement.
