• Exclusive EP stream: Best Boy Grip – Runaway

    Ahead of its official release on Monday, October 21, we have an exclusive stream of Runaway, the new EP by Derry singer-songwriter Eoin O’Callaghan AKA Best Boy Grip. The follow-up to his terrific second EP The Clerk – released back in January – O’Callaghan’s new release shows marked progression from the songwriter whilst retaining his hallmark melodic flourishes. The artwork for the EP features an illustration of a breathing device patented in 1892 that supplies a hotel guest and/or fireman with fresh air until he can be rescued in the event of a fire. Lovely. Stream the EP via Bandcamp…
