• Monday Mixtape: Waldorf & Cannon

    October 1, 2022 - By 

    Off the back of their new single ‘Cut Loose’, Derry/Donegal alternative duo Waldorf & Cannon wax lyrical about some of their favourite tracks, featuring Osees, Pixies, Ty Segall, Link Wray, Devo and more Osees – Perm Act Been listening to this album flat out since it came out last month, they’ve really fuzz punked it up this time, the whole thing only lasts 22mins. Went to see them in the Button Factory recently, was the best gig I’ve been to since the last time I saw them. Probably the best band about now if you’re into that sort of thing…

  • Video Premiere: Waldorf & Cannon – Cut Loose

    September 16, 2022 - By 

    Few Irish acts have carved out a niche as distinctive as Waldorf & Cannon. Comprising Philip Wallace and Oisin Cannon, the Derry/Donegal duo’s alternative multi-instrumentalism has proven equal parts emphatic and earworming on singles including ‘Omit The Logic’ and ‘We Are Your Government’. New single ‘Cut Loose’ ups the ante and then some.

As DIY goes, Waldorf & Cannon make it their mission statement. Have a first look at the video, and…

  • Album Premiere: Waldorf & Cannon – Old Dogs New Tricks

    January 18, 2017 - By 

    An alternative multi-instrumentalist duo from Derry and Donegal, Waldorf & Cannon make a little go a very long way.  With both members on vocal duties, Philip Wallace AKA Walford playing a Farmer Footdrum kit (check it out, it’s pretty awesome), guitar and harmonica, and Oisin Cannon on bass, their craft – influenced by the likes of Pixies, Devo, Link Wray and Beck – is testament to the fact that the song, no matter how it’s written, wrangled or performed, reigns supreme. A consistently intriguing release from one of the country’s most idiosyncratic alternative propositions have a first listen to their debut album, Old…
