Who The F#@k Is: Eugene McGuinness


Eugene McGuinness may not be a household name on these shores, but that doesn't mean he's not making some of the coolest music and videos around.


Originally, he was contemplating a fine arts career before he decided to relocate to Liverpool from London to become a musician instead.  His first release, an EP entitled The Early Learnings of Eugene McGuinness, came in 2007 with an eponymous debut full length arriving the following year.  In 2009, he formed Eugene + The Lizards with his brother.  So far they have released one album, Glue.
McGuinness' highly anticipated second record The Invitation To The Voyage was recorded in between  playing live and recording with Miles Kane.  The NME recently gave the record an 8 out of 10 and stated "if he carries on like this, he'll be MASSIVE".

The Invitation To The Voyage was released on August 6th on Domino Records in the UK.  As of this writing, there is no North American release date set.








Thanks for reading!
