Fighter by Tom McShane

"Like a mellow, melancholic David Ford or Will Oldham if he’d been brought up on the streets of Belfast instead of Kentucky Tom reaches right into your chest tugging at your heart and leaving you breathless. Such honesty is rare in a scene that emphasises style and fashion over passion and should be treasured by anyone with a passion for music." The Devil Has The Best Tuna

"Slow burning lament, touched with melancholy and exploding into falsetto when the emotion calls for it, a touching song from an artist with a pure soul." Subba-Cultcha

"Tom McShane channels the likes of Uncle Tupelo and Smog on this great track, which eloquently tells the story of a boxer’s inner conflict. Only deep martial drums resonate beneath McShane’s timeless voice for much of the track, with a simple but devastatingly effective little guitar lick cropping up every now and then too. An extremely promising taster." Hot Press Magazine
