What the Press are saying...
"Its easy to put singer/songwriters into one box and shove it under your bed! But that would be a mistake with Eoin Coughlan, his songs are wonderfully beautiful short stories, that are a joy to listen to." Alison Curtis, Today FM
"Coughlan avoids the worn-out formula of a half-dozen chords and a world-weary voice, instead magicking "Blood in Vein" into a more sophisticated and adventurous approach to the musicianly songwriter's vocation" Hot Press
"Lyrics that Dylan would be proud of..." The Scene
"Breaking the mould of singer-songwriters, this man cuts to the quick" The Irish Times
"Strong song writing, impassioned deliveries that find the singer lost in emotion, and a romantic motif got Van pretty far in life and Coughlan has all of this and more" The Irish Voice
"Blood In Vein rates high among the top 5 of Irish debuts in the last couple of years. Eoin's powerful storytellingability complimented by superb tunes made the songs must plays on a regular basis on the Late Show on BBC Radio Ulster. The Leaves and Then I'll Go To Sleep being stand out tracks for me alongside the driven Cutting Down Laws. A compelling live performer who has pleanty more to give. Ag tnúth leis an darna chnuasacht! Karen Kirby BBC
The Arrangements and the production take the album, beyond the clichéd guitar-based simplicity of the genre. One can't avoid hearing the echoes of Paul Simon's delicate craftwork, melodic phrasing and precise vocalising… Lyrics that evoke the spiritual…" Jackie Hayden (hot press)
"Move over Damien Rice, there's some new talent in town!" hot press single review
"Causing the blood to pulsate with his live performance…" Sligo Champion
"Eoin Coughlan alternates between a blistering rocker, unabashedly romantic, gentle and conversational to a soaring that brings Jeff Buckley to mind…" Evening Herald
"Honest song writing and delicate tunefulness…8/10" The Clare People
