Ahead of their Saturday night appearance at Live at Castle Mills this July alongside Lisa O’Neill and The National’s Matt Berninger, Kilkenny’s Engine Alley – more so frontman Canice Kenealy – are the subject of the latest Teenage Wasteland podcast.
Inspired by The Who and produced by Mullingar brothers Michael & Johnny Cronin (The Aftermath, Cronin), Live Transmission Records and Will Russell, the podcast celebrates the music of our teenage years.
Each episode features a guest conversation about their favourite records they listened to as a teenager, how they were influenced by them and how the music shaped their own paths in the industry.
Recent interviewees include Dodgy, Camille O’Sullivan, Mike Hanrahan (Stockton’s Wing), Danny Larkin and Dave Graraghty (Bell X1).
Their latest (3 June) features Kilkenny’s own Canice Kenealy, frontman of Engine Alley, who released their first of four studio albums, A Sonic Holiday, in 1992 on Mother Records.
Whether you’re on the drive to and from the office or fancy a sit-down for a walk through Kenealy’s musical history, take a listen to the podcast in full below via Spotify.
