Hailing from the west of Ireland, Telebox are an electrifyingly energetic indie rock four piece. After the release of their second EP When Night Turns Into Day, they set off on a tour around Ireland. Outside the Box is their own passion project which celebrates the music scene around Ireland and calls an end to the summer.
The Love Buzz, known for their high energy sets and hypnotic melodies, describe themselves as “a steamy, tongue-in-cheek beacon of hope with optimism and irony for the vagrants of Cork City and further afield”.
Adore are a 3-piece garage punk band hailing from Galway, Donegal and Dublin. Their music combines themes from surf, disco and pop which blends with their punk sensibilities, firmly grounded by crunchy guitar and a powerful drum and bass combo.
NI Music Prize - Single of The Year 2023 winners Esmeralda Road are a 7 piece Indie band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Influenced heavily by the late 2010’s London jazz scene, the likes of Tom Misch and Cosmo Pyke are evident in their songwriting.
Mirrors are a rock band from Cork Ireland. The band are very much a product of Irish acts of past eras, drawing much of their influence from The Cranberries, My Bloody Valentine and Virgin Prunes.
Bees & Sawdust are an Irish band boasting an eclectic mix of sounds that make for an electrifying live performance. The group comprises five members whose stage presence and use of effects lend themselves to a totally unique sound.
Van Gone, are a rising force in the Irish music scene with roots firmly planted in Galway. Formed in May 2023, they are making waves with their electrifying performances. With a sound that seamlessly blends ethereal shoegaze with Psychedelic Progressive Rock, Van Gone captivates audiences with their dynamic energy and sonic landscapes.
Undercover Martians - Hailing from North West Ireland, the four piece merge new wave and garage punk sensibilities, drawing influences from the likes of Television, Interpol and Green Day.
From the West of Ireland, The Bog Project is a funk infused surf rock trio with an electrifying stage presence. Producing a groovy and hypnotic sound, the band revives the grit of old time classic rock, soul and blues.
Sarah Brooki is a young musician from Headford, County Galway. Now leaning into a heavier sound, growing up she was always fascinated by the sights of local bands and musicians. Her music is heavily inspired by a mix of 90s alternative music, modern post-punk, soft indie folk and rock.
Swallow Sorrow are a three piece indie rock band from Galway. Formed a mere three months ago, much to the inspiration of Newdad, Fontaines D.C. and Mary and the Junkyard.
