The Steady Song - Republic of Loose
Manage episode 339096005 series 3387883
Dublin band Republic of Loose has been described by Sinéad O’Connor as ‘The best Irish Band ever.’ With a stream of hits like Comeback Girl, I Like Music, You know it and The Steady Song, the band has solidified themselves as a staple of Irish music.
This episode of Popcheol will revisit the band’s ‘The Steady Song’, telling the story of the song from the perspective of the band’s guitarist and songwriter Brez Breslin. I also investigate the popularity of the song within the context of the Celtic Tiger and how the song reflects a change in Irish music and society.
Thanks again to my guests Brez Breslin and Local Boy
