"Niall James Holohan (aka ‘the dark prince of pop’) is a smart,deeply ambitious, independent and self-sufficient tunesmith from Dublin - adept in the creation of the literate pop song and a writer who’s polemic writing style bring humour,bite and entertainment back to the palm-sap-loving-dragging airs of the songwriter genre. Niall’s sound is eclectic and refreshing and has seen him progress quickly from regular spots at Dublin’s various cosy songwritier nights to headline shows throughout Ireland's top venues ..and with the release of his final lo-fi record "A BEAUTIFUL CORPSE" - on now to prestigious showcases at International Music Conventions across the globe (South X South West - Austin,Texas ..NEMO - Boston ..In the City -Manchester)
His voice is rich and instantly recgnisable,his lauded lyrics are part investigative journalism and powerfully delivered and at the top end - perhaps even carry the new dirty bulbs of social change.Niall's on-stage persona has seen all curious comparisons (to Bill Hicks - to Hamill On Trial - to Morrissey) fall short of hitting said nail on said head. A quick glance at www.nialljamesholohan.com and Niall’s hard graft and ambitious commitment to a career in music is clear.This record is made for the uninitiated however and serves as a wicked and colourful introduction to the tricks and airs of the dark prince in the run up to his long-awatited 'commercial debut' "CATTLE OF FISH"
Parental Guidance is advised as Niall's tongue is often as wonderfully foul as his gift for weaving harsh home truths into pop songs is sublime.
