JP Kennedy - Den of Iniquity


JP Kennedy, hailing from Ardara, Ireland, is a self-taught artist who blends his punk rock spirit with influences from the contrasting genres of country, folk, and grunge. He has released the music video for his latest single, "Den of Iniquity."

Set in and around a saloon bar, it showcases the antics of JP and a cast of cowboys. Among them is Daisy, the object of his affection. However, this gun-wielding showgirl is not all that she seems. The folk-rock singer states that the video’s Wild West influence was inspired by the life of his great-grandfather. “He ran saloons in New Mexico and Arizona for 20 years before returning to Ireland. The video’s colourful characters are a modern-day version of the type of people he would have encountered.” 


The video, directed by Christopher Georgiou, is well-made, enjoyable, and fun to watch. The thing I personally like the most is that It doesn’t feel pretentious despite the hard work involved. The song is very catchy and of absolute quality, too, with a top-notch performance by JP and a classy arrangement and production.
