This week, Niall Byrne (Nialler9) joined Rigsy and Stu to discuss new music
All Tvvins – Too Young To Live
Niall: “They’re a band that I really, really enjoy and I’m looking forward to hearing more of…and I didn’t manage to see them in Brighton because the queue was so long to get in to see the band!”
Tomorrows – Free
Niall: “Tomorrows are a band formed by members of other bands…Biggles Flys Again, The Chapters, Jethro Pickett and Woodheart. This is only their second song…this is much more laid back, very wistful and really nice psychedelic almost pop music…I really like it.”
The Quartel – Can’t Stop Feeling Good
Stu: “They’re very young…I’ve been watching them for the past 18 months…a really swift curve of improvement and they have a new EP out at the minute called - Stuck In Gear.”
Girl Band – Law Man
Niall: “I think they were one of the most talked about bands at the festival (The Great Escape Festival, Brighton) because they’ve just grown into this huge sounding rock band. They take their cues from industrial music, and punk aggression.”
Sorcha Richardson – Petrol Station
Niall: “Sorcha is an Irish singer and she moved over to New York about 4 years ago. In the last couple of years, she’s been collaborating with different producers and this is her first solo track since then…You can detect more of an electronic influence in her music now. “
Lost Avenue – Daggers
Rigsy: “This band have been featured on Across The Line before, numerous EPs released and still very young, so very promising.”
Stu: “They were down in Belfast a few weeks ago and they played well….the scuzzy children of Cahir O’Doherty!”
Lakker – Mountain Divide
Niall: “It’s a humongous track…they make this very interesting music, that’s neither house nor techno or industrial, but it’s kind of a bit of everything.”
Rigsy: “This is some smoky goodness.”
D.A.N - Visions
Rigsy: “D.A.N is nineteen and from Derry…very, very promising stuff indeed.”
