Review: Bribry 'Swings' Skyhigh - new solo project by Brian O'Reilly

Bribry is Sky High is the new solo pseudonym taken on by former Star Crossed Enemies front man Brian O’Reilly. O’Reilly has just finished recording debut EP Swings with former Guillotines and Star Crossed Enemies band mate Gary White. While White took part in the recording of Swings he will not form part of the live line-up of Bribry is Sky High full-time, with Redreck vocalist and guitarist Ian Campbell set to partner O’Reilly onstage.

Review: Star Crossed Enemies - no longer Star Crossed, but it's with a Happy Ending

It is with enormous sadness that I write about the break up of Star Crossed Enemies. After the highs of being loved by the unlikely folk of Limerick; reaching second place in the download.ie charts; recording an EP; and making many a person smile with their onstage chemistry, Brian O’Reilly and Gary White decided to part ways with their final show together taking place in the Spirit Store in Dundalk supporting Michelle Anne Kelly.

Review: Star Crossed Enemies - a new direction

Since the split of Guillotines, Brian O’Reilly and Gary White have created a new sound for themselves with Star Crossed Enemies. However, this new sound is one that may not be deemed ‘exciting’ enough for gig promoters in Dublin to consider as headline material. The example being used here is the band Green Lights’ final gig on the 27th of February, 2009. The bill for this gig was, in playing order (first to last): Star Crossed Enemies/The Funeral Suits/ and Green Lights.
