• TPOE 366: Junior Brother

  Ronan Kealy aka Junior Brother, returns to The Point of Everything to talk about his extraordinary third album The End, released September 5 on Pete Doherty’s Strap Originals label. The album was recorded almost entirely solo, with only a guest appearance from Lankum’s Ian Lynch on Uilleann pipes, but its sound is expansive and band-like, rooted in Irish tradition while reaching into something stranger and more contemporary. In this conversation, Junior Brother reflects on his time in Dublin’s music scene, how folklore and storytelling seep into his songwriting, and the role of collaboration in shaping his work. He also touches on themes of love and life, the visual worlds of his music videos, and the childhood stories that continue to fire his imagination. The result is an album that connects the past and present, the personal and the mythical, into something both timeless and unsettlingly current. The End is available now at juniorbrother.com Junior Brother tour dates: Friday, September 12 – The Pav, Cork (Sounds from a Safe Harbour, Album Launch) Saturday, September 13 – The Grand Social, Dublin (Album Launch) Sunday, September 14 – The Grand Social, Dublin (Album Launch) Saturday, September 21 – Vantastival Festival, Drogheda Friday, October 10 – LASTA Festival, Síamsa Tíre, Tralee Sunday, November 9 – DeBarras Samhain Festival, Clonakilty Thursday, November 14 – Róisín Dubh, Galway Friday, November 15 – Upstairs at Dolan’s Warehouse, Limerick Friday, November 21 – Sandinos, Derry Saturday, November 22 – Open House Festival, Bangor Sunday, November 23 – Spirit Store, Dundalk

• TPOE 365: TRM (The Redneck Manifesto)/Jape

  TRM (formerly known as The Redneck Manifesto) release their sixth album Grushy via Dublin's Ten Spot Records on Friday, September 5. Comprising seven tracks, they say they found a new creative surge - a different pulse yet from the same wellspring - when making the album. Currently a three piece (though swelling to six when playing live), Niall Byrne, Matty Bolger and Richie Egan have been playing together for nearly 30 years. On the TPOE podcast, Matty and Richie talk about how TRM startted, what the scene in Dublin was like back then, the ideas behind the new album and lots more. Richie and Matty also play in Jape, who is part of the Landmarks series at the NCH on Sunday, September 14, where they will perform in full two albums: The Monkeys in the Zoo Have More Fun Than Me (2004) and Ritual (2008), a Choice Prize-winning album. We talk about those two albums, their influence, Floating, and always looking forward even when you're looking back.

• TPOE 364: Throwing Shapes

  Throwing Shapes are Méabh McKenna, Ross Chaney, and Gareth Quinn Redmond who release their self-titled debut album on WRWTFWW on September 5 - a hypnotic, texturally rich exploration in sound. Led by the striking timbre of the Irish wire strung harp, the album weaves intricate instrumental tapestries with ambitious electronic synthesis and arrangements. Eoghan talked to the three members of Throwing Shapes at Another Love Story, discussing ambient music, how they got together, recording the album, the importance of the Irish harp and so much more.
