Recording, Production, Mixing and Video Production.
The beginning of the Deaf Brothers production team. Each track was recorded and shot in one day at The Meadow. Never Intended For Use was edited and mixed at home, on and off, over a period of about a year. "Dead In Absentia" was also run through a bunch of stuff in Westland Studios one night with Alwyn Walker.
Recording & Production
Eye Of Night was recorded in 7 days at The Meadow. Great to see this record out finally on Svart Records. Class mix by Phil Manley of Trans Am and mastered by James Plotkin.
Recording / Production
Proud to have been involved in this one with Rían and Enola Gay… Released on the week of the 25th anniversary of The Good Friday Agreement in the North is this scathing commentary on the DUP… Mixed by Johnny Hostile and released on Modern Sky UK…
Recording & Mixing
Alarmist’s sophomore album took nearly two years to complete and is another masterful collection of compositions and sound designs… Released on Small Pond again and also on Art As Catharsis… Pleasure working on this record and love the way we always get to use every instrument and random bit of gear on these albums…
Recording & Production
Was great to work of the Debut Album for Thumper with Rían down in The Meadow… Delayed by the pandemic, finally released in 2022 and subsequently nominated for the Choice Music Prize in 2023…
Recording
Bitch Falcon spent ten days with Rían and myself recording this record which was later mixed by Alex Newport in LA… Was great crack getting this record together with Nigel, Lizzie and Barry… Out now on Small Pond and Reckless Records…
Recording
Was a pleasure to be involved with the recording of Come On Live Long's album last year. In The Still was just shortlisted for the Choice Music Award. Lovely few days in with everyone in the The Meadow.
Recording
This was the only full album Rían and myself did in our (now defunct) Twin Towers studio in Dublin City Centre. Dissociation Mechanics is a fuzz soaked, delay driven, phaser onslaught and was recorded in Abbey just after we got the place rebuilt. Was great getting to throw every Muff, Schaller and Space Echo at Wild Rocket's second full length LP which was released by Art For Blind last summer.
Recording + Mixing
Breakin' Out was the second album by Glimmermen on Transduction Records. It was recorded in The Meadow during Christmas and New Years of 2015 and was a welcome distraction from the holidays. It was finished in Abbey in early 2016. Great record to work on and I really love Gav's photo for the artwork.
Recording
Assisted Tommy O'Sullivan get the Weird War Tales EP together for New Gods in The Meadow back in 2016. Classic old school, straight up, no bullshit 70's sounding punk. RIP New Gods.
Recording Assistant
Honoured to have got to work on this one with Guerrilla Studios and Rough Trade Records... It’s a very special record... Lankum’s Wild Rover is masterpiece...
Recording & Mixing
Meltybrains? Kiss Yourself EP was recorded at The Meadow with Deaf Bros back in 2015 sometime I think. ‘Unwarranted Laughter’ is my favourite from this EP. Great mastering by Matt Colton at Alchemy and killer artwork by Ronan Kelly.
Recording
Glimmermen’s third album and the second I have worked on… Another great album buy the lads… Self-Released this time…
Recording & Mixing
Zinc's Debut was recorded in The Meadow and mixed in Twin Towers… Its a killer record smashing lots of genres together with great musicianship and composition… One of my favourites over the years…
Recording, Production, Mixing and Video Production
The first Deaf Brothers production. Heavy Electricity was recorded in 7 days at The Meadow. Was a great privilege to record No Spill Blood’s debut album. This production and getting to shoot video & photos of the process has pretty much set the tone for everything I have done after. Legends.
Recording & Mixing
Great little Double A Side by Leopard Skin Jasper… Unfortunately their only release… Will always love ‘Osric Poppy’ for its junkie chic…
Recording
One of my best drum sounds I have been involved in… Great composition by Cloud Castle Lake… A perfect tease that never really delivers but it so satisfying in that hold…
Recording & Mixing
Great EP this... Jet Setter’s final release… Great songs on this one and some nice sounds…
Teaboy
Didn’t really do anything on this Girl Band masterpiece but did throw a few ideas on the kitchen table and plug some shit in from time to time down at the mansion… Honoured to have got to hang out on this amazing album on Rough Trade Records… It really is something other worldly…
Mixing
Gave this rehearsal room recording a look over for Worst’s first sound release… Limited Edition Cassette… Hopefully gonna do their first album soon in The Meadow…

Bitch Falcon spent ten days with Rían and myself recording the record this single is from, which was later mixed by Alex Newport in LA… Was great crack getting this together with Nigel, Lizzie and Barry… Available on 7inch from Small Pond and Reckless Records…
Assistant Engineer
It was a privilege to get to work on this behemoth… Lankum’s ‘The Livelong Day’ is immense and is another record I am lucky to have been involved with down in The Meadow… Released by Rough Trade Records to critical acclaim... Spud knocked it outta the park as ever... And to Radie, Daragh, Ian and Coz - Thanks for having me in on this killer record - You are all some of the best humans I will ever know xoxox
Recording & Mixing
Fantastic final record by The Cujo Family… Recorded on and off over a few months in The Meadow… Loads of great sounds but my highlight will always be Bray Head Hotel’ - One take, with three ribbon microphones and all in the room together…
Recording & Mixing
The debut album from Megacone… Talent to burn and at such a young age… Killer three guitar harmonies…
Recording & Production
Always a great laugh in the studio with Alarmist. Popular Demain was recorded back in 2014/2015 and was released by Small Pond in late 2015. I don't know how they remember it all.
Recording & Mixing
Renowned jam band Mescalito finally recorded a EP after years of gigs… The EP is much more controlled and focused than their mainly improvised live shows… Always worth seeing them play…
Recording
Bitch Falcon spent ten days with Rían and myself and ‘Damp Breath’ is the first release from that batch of songs… Pleasure doing this record with Nigel, Lizzie and Barry and Reckless Records… Can’t wait for the rest of it to come out…
Recording & Mixing
Love this EP by Mount Soma… Proper authentic stoner doom… Gutted that it is potentially their last release…
Recording
First single from Panik Attaks… Supergroup with an ever changing lineup… Furious authentic posh punk…
Recording, Mixing & Production
Very lucky to get to work on this one with Fiachra and Carmel… Learned so much from Fiachra and heard endless amazing stories from both of them during the process… So many good musicians on this one that I couldn’t even begin to list…
Recording & Mixing
Great craic working on this tune and a bunch of other with the lads from Melts… Looking forward to doing the debut album whenever it happens… Lots of singles to come from this batch…
Recording & Mixing
First single from Alarmist’s debut LP… Killer album released by Small Pond… Some of the best and weirdest sounds I have ever been involved with…
Recording, Mixing & Production
First guitar record I did over a decade ago… Worked on this Gorbachov record for a year back then and it had some great sounds… Hometown favourites and Winners of Murphy’s Live way back when…
Additional Mixing
Helped finish off the mix on this We Cut Corners album while Rían was away in Mexico… Lovely hanging out with the guys…
Recording & Mixing
My favourite track from Alarmist’s second record… A very different sounding track from the band… It really is a minimal and slick arrangement and sound design in comparison to everything the band has done to date…
Recording
Fat Pablo’s debut single Shambala… Formely known as Beach… Really well considered and composed music from these lads and there will be a few more singles this year from this batch of tracking we did in The Meadow…
Recording
Second Single from Melts… Really loved Rían’s mix on this one… Kewl looking vid too…
Recording, Mixing & Production
This BATS record is the best sounding Deaf Brothers record yet… Its like a 5 year reset since the No Spill Blood sessions… Great to see ‘Alter Nature’ out in the world and getting loads of great reviews… It was a mammoth 14 day run in The Meadow… Loads of killer guitar sounds and great guests to record…
Recording
This Oddsocks record was one of the only things we did pretty much all of in Twin Towers… Some good sounds on this one… Especially loved the Arp on Birth of the Cool…
Bass and Drum Tracking
Recorded the Bass and Drums for one of these tracks a million years ago… Molotov Ape is one of the best… Go check him out…
Recording
Second single from the Panik Attaks… Got some killer guitar sounds… Think I doubled Pyro’s middle solo with the Sitar on this one…
Recording & Mixing
Second single from Alarmist’s latest record Sequesterer… More madness from the lads… This new LP is great…
Recording Assistant
Second single from ‘The Livelong Day’ that I got to work on with Guerrilla Studios and Rough Trade Records... Vid by my bud Bob Gallagher which won Best Irish Music Vid of 2019... Can’t wait for this Lankum record to drop...
Recording
Another killer single from Fat Pablo…
Drum Tracking
Rían and myself recorded the live drums with Lewis for All Tvvins debut LP in Twin Towers which we shared with the band at the time… This record was made in some of the best studios in the UK… Kinda funny that we recorded the drums for a few tracks in our little club house in Dublin…
Recording
One of my favourites from the first batch of tunes we did with the Panik Attaks… Killer bridge in this one… Pyro’s solo is ridiculous…
Recording & Mixing
First single from Alarmist’s new record ‘Sequesterer’…
Assistant Engineer
Helped Ian Chestnut track the Drums, Bass and Guitars for this Crowhammer record years ago in Guerrilla Studios… It still isn’t finished… I do love the sound of that live room though and the lads at Guerrilla have made some of the best records in Ireland the past 10 years…
Recording
Third single from the Panik Attaks first batch of tunes in The Meadow…
New single from the Panik Attaks first EP that I recorded in The Meadow with Rían…
Recording, Mixing & Production
The Double A Side from the Gorbachov record… Loved the sound of these two tunes… Especially Mr.F…
Panik Attaks first collection of songs is the “White Water Rafting” EP… I am very proud to have had a heavy hand in the recording of these tunes, creating the Artwork for the EP and Single and Editing the Video for ‘The Boom Is Back’… Its release has been perfectly timed for Election 2020 week in Ireland and was Premiered by The Thin Air…
