Jack White - BlunderbussThe Raconteurs, The Dead Weather Well, it’s a lot of both; White’s self –referential lyrics expose some tormented views on love, loss and life, and an evident instrumental prowess, enriching an album that yields a countrified twang, smuggled straight out of Nashville. Although it’s evident that Jack White’s musicality radiates throughout the album, the problem is that your eardrums are constantly grappling with an array of songs that are as dull as dishwater in places.Read more...

A talk with ‘In case of Fire’
Published 5th Dec 2011
In Case of Fire are an alternative rock band originally from Northern Ireland consisting of three members, lead vocalist and guitarist Steven Robinson, bassist Craig Skene and drummer Colin Robinson. With the bands new line-up, they have brought a fantastic and fresh energy proven to the audience on their recent tour supporting Switchfoot. We at The Stag are lucky enough to have had the band answer a few questions….
The Stag: How was it touring with Switchfoot this year?
In Case of Fire: It was amazing, even better than we had imagined. As the support band on a tour of that size we were unsure of how their crowd would react to us, but every show was great and the Switchfoot fans were brilliant.
TS: How did you meet/ did the band form?
ICOF- Craig and I (Steven) met through mutual friends and we knew Thomas (touring percussionist) through the local music scene. It’s a new line-up for the band and this was our first tour together, so we were pretty nervous for the first couple of shows but the reception from the crowds eased our nerves very quickly.
TS: Who are your musical influences?
ICOF- We have a pretty wide range of influences but the main ones would probably be The Mars Volta, Queens Of The Stone Age and Muse.
TS: What has been your best live experience?
ICOF- The tour with Switchfoot was definitely up there, but I’d say playing the second stage at T in The Park in 2009 was one of our best live experiences.
TS: Worst live experience?
ICOF- We played an outdoor show once in Dublin that went really well, but during the last song I got a bit animated and I fell off the front of the 6ft stage with my guitar and landed on my back. I thought I’d broken my neck but I ended up just a bit bruised and embarrassed. Got a half decent cheer though!
TS: What can we look out for in the future of In Case of Fire?
ICOF- We’re currently finishing writing the songs for our second album and will hopefully be going into the studio to record it sometime in the New Year. We’re definitely going to be heading out on tour again as soon as we can so keep an eye on our Facebook page for any updates!
