This week Peter Cinnamond joined Rigsy and Stu to talk new music, including:
Window Seats - Sticklebricks
Peter: “Window Seats are back! They [have had] ‘an accidental two year hiatus’ and I have to say I’ve missed them … Over the past few months they’ve decided to kick start the band again… and with another great video for this track too.”
No Monster Club - Lemonade
Peter: “Wonderfully weird and wonky, No Monster Club hail from Dublin and are signed to Popical Island… This is from a new album due out next year called ‘I Feel Magic’.”
Saturn Sundown - One Fight At A Time
Rigsy: “This is a big ambitious, brilliantly produced, brilliantly presented track. The music video will be shot in the new year at Armagh Planetarium, which is appropriate! Big and spectacular, just like the track.”
Young Aviators - Drive-Thru Culture Night
Peter: “This band are from Warrenpoint but are now living in Glasgow. As we come towards the festive period a lot of Irish people come home and have Christmas dinner with their mammies… These guys used to be in a previous band called Back Alley Screens and went through a rebrand and left those songs behind… But for one night only on Boxing Night in Warrenpoint, their home town, Back Alley Screens are back to play all their greatest hits. I think it’s a really fun idea!”
Good Friend - The Return Of Fionn And The Fianna
Peter: “Another band who are originally from here but living in mainland UK, this time in Newcastle Upon Tyne. It’s their latest single and it’s a great track – really loud, really rocky, and features on a compilation of Paper And Plastic Records.”
Neon Atlas - Somewhere
Stu: “This is a combo from Cork. They’ve had a bit of form, two albums so far and Dermot O’Leary has been favourably disposed! I think there’s a little Tim Wheeler/Weezer connection here.”
Bleeding Heart Pigeons - Anything You Want
Peter: “Their tracks always swell towards a big crescendo and I love every one of them … they’re building towards their debut album. Signed to Virgin Records, the album comes out on the 15th January in Ireland and 12th February everywhere else.”
Gone All Year - Life Goes On
Rigsy: “A familiar name to ATL, Gone All Year are a hugely ambitious four piece pop-rock band based in Belfast. They headlined a show in the Mandela Hall earlier in the year and did themselves a lot of favours with a big fanbase as a result”.
