Untitled EP- Caomhe
Artist: Album: Untitled Ep Reviewer Danny Foulkes If Ed Sheeran is up and coming, and you probably know the rest of the quotation, then Caomhe (pronounced ‘Keeva’) deserves the same meteoric rise.

The Groovy Coolies-Imperplexituitum
Song: Imperplexituitum Artist: The Groovy Coolies Reviewer: Danny Foulkes Choosing a band name is pretty important. You don’t need to be a genius to know that Pig Destroyer or Cattle Decapitation are extreme metal bands, or that Rotting Christ or Impaled Nazarene probably ought not to be played at the Sunday School picnic.
