Album review: Kodaline

Coming Up For Air

Neutral perspectives on Kodaline are few. Depending on your vantage point, the group are either an intriguing Celtic updating of Coldplay or the worst thing to happen to rock music this side of nu-metal.

The Dubliners seem not in the least worried about the love/hate split. With their second album, they briskly double-down on their swooping, soaring sound.
