WATCH: The Mighty Stef in the Hot Press Chatroom
Stefan Murphy joined us on the couch.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 10 Oct 2012
Kicking off with a song, The Mighty Stef joined Roe McDermott (her musical input was zilch, sadly) in the Chatroom, where he opeened up to an audience about hwo, growing up, he wanted to be Kurt Cobain, "living vicariously" through rock bigraphies, and his solo acoustic tour that takes in Germany and the US.
After that, towards the end of the year, he revealed, they're going to be recording a new album. While we look forward to that, check out a contented Stef ("I heard you don't become happy till you're 40, I'm five years ahead! he laughed) and a host of songs below.

He’s a law unto himself is Stef, making the kind of records that nobody else could get away with. ‘Poisonous Love’ is an ode to a doomed love affair that turns into a punk sea shanty and sounds like The Men They Couldn’t Hang. It’s also great.

A pivotal figure within Dublin’s psycho-rock scene, he’s been threatening something special for some time, and praise be, The Sins of Sainte Catherine is a fine representation of his considerable talent.
2006-10-02 - REVIEW
They don’t call him the Mighty Stef for nothing – brimming with showmanship and out-on-a-limb theatrics, this double A-side is the perfect marriage of knowing, indie melody and uplifting, crowd-pleasing pop. ‘Liars’ gives the Nolan Sisters a wry nod (as you do), while on first impression ‘Prayer For The Broken Hearted’ sounds as though Nick Cave found the happy pills (and cabaret).
