"An act with strong potential is the Chanting House. [This is the kind of group] that will help link Ireland's musical past with its future. 'We write the songs using the rhythms of jigs and reels, but at the same time they are unmistakably rock songs,' says Chanting House lead singer Susan McKeown. 'Traditional music is dear to me, but it's up to the new generation to see how it's carried down.'" TIME Magazine
"Chanting House used to be an Irish band. Now they're something more: a hybrid of Irish music heritage with its combination of longing and bravado and a streetwise New York mix of noise and swagger."Dirty Linen
"Equal parts folk-flavored songwriter and alternative rock chanteuse. Her debut album Bones is arrestingly original." The Boston Globe
"This powerful alto's intimate folk-rock songs, entwined with Irish instrumentation, have an earthy potentcy" New York Daily News |
