Posted on March 17, 2021

By Julie Landers, Staff Writer  Over the course of my Arts degree, I have amassed a sizable collection of tote bags. It is a  mandatory requirement according to the college. But the best one I have ever owned comes  courtesy of Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, best known as CMAT. The global teen pop sensation  pulled out…

The High Cost of Music  

By Julie Landers   Posted in Byline Music
Posted on March 4, 2021

By Julie Landers, Staff Writer I didn’t enjoy writing this article, and you’re probably not going to enjoy reading it.   Before deciding to write about the environmental impacts of music consumption, it was far easier to say ‘streaming good, vinyl bad’, and even then that wasn’t easy at all. I love the acts of collecting…

What will Now look like? – On processing trauma through art

By Julie Landers   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on November 26, 2020

When I get overwhelmed looking at all of the things I have to do, I try and picture the tasks as a cluster of tangled necklaces. And with each effort I make to chip away at the work, I figure a new slip in the knots, loosening the chains until eventually the mass slides away…

By Julie Landers   Posted in Byline Music
Posted on November 26, 2020

Constance Keane is a force to be reckoned with. Alongside being drummer for punk band M(h)aol, making her own music under Fears and managing Laura Groves, Keane is also about to launch the collective and management label TULLE. TULLE is specifically for women and non-binary musicians which, in a heavily male-dominated industry, has the potential…

Cork Punk Icons Say Farewell

By Julie Landers   Posted in Byline Music
Posted on October 4, 2020October 6, 2020

It’s the same and yet brand new. I scan the Kino and see the faces I’ve seen at gigs across the city for the last four years. We’re here for what will be the last Pretty Happy gig for the foreseeable future. It comes with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. Excitement for what is,…

Posted on September 18, 2020September 18, 2020

In a moment in time where the existence of live venues and the live music industry itself rest on increasingly fragile ground, many artists are in a financially precarious position. In the age of streaming, platforms like Spotify perpetuate the idea that music is something that can be procured for €9.99 a month, while the…
