Calling all fans of The Undertones or Bob Dylan, I have a release for you that will be right up your street and a secure add to your folk playlist. Introducing The Winter Codes who have recently released their album titled ‘Set The Darkness Reeling’ which was released on 1st August.
Doing the genre of folk justice and already in our view a folk classic, the album has strong Irish influences, mixed with clever lyrics and soulful vocals that not only portray emotional messages but upbeat hits.
The Winter Codes is made up of duo, David Walshe and Blood Or Whiskey founder, Barney Murray who both collaborated on the songwriting of the album and leading track titled Too Sly to Die.
