The Other Side Reviews: "Dessie Magee is a boundary-breaking act"

We Love That Sound: “We've discovered the next big Singer songwriting talent from Brighton for you, DESSIE MAGEE.”

Music For Your Heart: “...an energetic and powerful folk music that takes us from the first seconds of the song.”

Tambourhinoceros: “Both production, songwriting and performance is pretty flawless”

Medium.com: “Dessie Magee possesses that raw, poetic passion that few singer-songwriters can harness. His husky voice and powerful delivery and it’s absolutely addictive. For those tired of the man and a guitar formula, let Dessie lead you back in.”

Mp3hugger: “An epic capable of closing any set and leaving us gasping for more. Impressive stuff…”

EarToTheGround: “A great mix of Irish sounds with an alt twist”

Various Small Flames: "The vocals are distinctive and its hard not to get swept away by the energy”

Chillfiltr- "This voice just gets me. Dessie Magee is a singer-songwriter based in Brighton, originally from Ireland. It's all raw, heart-on-the-sleeve kind of stuff. It is certainly a second coming of the sort of spirit in Astral Weeks by Van Morrison, or even a folky Joe Cocker. There is that free-flowing emotion and the raspy grit that doesn't stand in the way of the high notes."

Eartothegroundmusic- “Dessie Magee has some of the best pure rock vocals we’ve heard in a long time. The overall composition feels genuine. He’s a bit like Dustin Kensrue and that’s pretty high praise for us. We’re definitely into the layered rock sounds here with some aggressive guitars propping up the stellar vocal. The Irish accent doesn’t hurt… not one bit.”
