The band played an incredible set Other Voices over the weekend and have captured some serious attention recently.

I for one cannot wait for this album, never mind the performance, been following these guys for a wee while now and would definitely recommend checking them out if you haven’t already. Another properly exciting band coming out of Dublin!
