Chris McConaghy aka Our Krypton Son hails from Derry, Northern Ireland where he first cut his first musical teeth with psychobilly art-rockers Red Organ Serpent Sound.

PLUTONIUM
NOWHERE
AS I FADE AWAYDescription
'Plutonium' is a deftly crafted tale which showcases the vocal talent of Chris McConaghy in breathtaking fashion.
