Our Take

The Eskies have galloped back onto the music scene with their latest album, "Don't Spare The Horses," and let me tell you, it's a wild ride from start to finish. This Irish outfit has always had a knack for blending genres, and on this record, they've taken it to a whole new level.

From the opening track, "All Good Men Must Fall," the Eskies set the tone for a rollicking adventure through folk, blues, and everything in between. The band's infectious energy is on full display, with foot-stomping rhythms and soaring melodies that will have you dancing in your seat.

But it's not just the music that makes this album stand out - the Eskies' lyrics are as sharp as ever, tackling everything from love and loss to politics and social injustice. Tracks like "Bombay Fair" and "Mountains of Mercy" showcase the band's ability to weave storytelling into their songs, creating a rich tapestry of sound and emotion.

And let's not forget frontman Ian Bermingham's distinctive vocals, which range from gravelly growls to soaring falsettos. His performance on tracks like "Brave New World" and "Black Iron" is nothing short of mesmerising, drawing you in with every word.

In the end, "Don't Spare The Horses" is a triumph for the Eskies, showcasing their talent and versatility in equal measure. So saddle up, dear readers, and prepare for a musical journey like no other. This is one album you won't want to miss.
