Hi Folks,

Two more nice blog reviews have come to my attention. The first is from The Devil has the Best Tuna and goes a little something like this:

BOXING CLEVER: Tom McShane
Genre: Indie / Alternative
From: Belfast, Northern Ireland United Kingdom

Tom Mcshane is a singer songwriter from Northern Ireland who takes you on a tour of his emotions with his heart firmly pinned to his sleeve. Like a mellow, melancholic David Ford or Will Oldham if he'd been brought up on the streets of Belfast instead of Kentucky Tom reaches right into your chest tugging at your heart and leaving you breathless. Such honesty is rare in a scene that emphasises style and fashion over passion and should be treasured by anyone with a passion for music.

Tom has recently released a single, 'Fighter', a lo-fi tale of a son following his boxing father into the ring. 'Fighter' was released as a split 7″ single with fellow Belfastians, the altogether more mainstream sounding indie pop trio Escape Act (of which more tomorrow).

If you've grown tired of run of the mill singer songwriters like David Gray then Tom McShane has arrived to restore your faith.

The second is from the Rocksellout mailout. It says:

Belfast's Tom Mc Shane, I'm going to have no problems in telling you why i was drawn to him. Lets start with the vocal delivery it draws you into the great haunting guitar. There is just enough going on but not too much that you are distracted from the great lyrics. The tracks with a full band are nearly as good, he is a true talent i found myself wanting more.

Thank you both for the kind words and support!

Tom
