We reported earlier in the month on the imminent release of The Shadow Of An Empire, the new long-player from Irish wunderkind Fionn Regan. Today, we’re happy to be able to offer the first taster from the album – released via Heavenly Records early 2010.
‘Protection Racket’ is released as a single on December 7th, far removed from the stark folk ballads of 2006 debut album The End Of History the song acts as a perfect introduction to the scratchy Dylan-isms and punk bile spread generously across the new record.
