IN VALOUR would describe their musical style as song based electronica. The duo first met in Sydney where they were members of trip-hop band ‘Kinetic’. Re-acquainted in Jan ’09 they thought they might work on a handful of tracks, but found that their musical connection was still alive and kicking. They took the name ‘IN VALOUR’, and forged their unique sound from a blend of cultures, styles, tastes and experience

Colm Lynch
New album: Tickety Boo
One thing is for certain, Colm Lynch & his eight piece band know how to perform- and on this album the singer songwriter is anxious to impress. Whether it is by singing his heart out or banging the hell out his guitar, he has set his goals on achieving something rather […]
When a decade passes you’re bound to get some daft articles chronicling what was the best music. When I suggested that ‘The Mutation’ should try having a go at one of these lists I was told to do it myself.
When I’m not making sure the technical side of this blog is in working order I work as a musician and sound engineer. I’ve spent the last 10 years doing sound and travelling around with my bands, Stanley Super 800 and the Céilí Allstars, during which time I’ve collected a treasure trove of great music from others like myself. Working in music.
Cork woman Annette Buckley recieved rave reviews after releasing her debut album “the ever changing colours of the sea” with 8.5 out of 10 in Hotpress. She combines lucious vocals with great piano playing, think Bjork fused with Billie Holiday and you get a sense of her vocal dexterity and quirkiness. Having collaborated with many […]
