This week, Charlene Hegarty joined Rigsy and Stu in the ATL studio to talk new music...
Hozier - Jackie & Wilson
Charlene: “What a great track. It’s the next single off the album, so we’re just wondering what’s coming on album two and when that’ll arrive.”
Galants – This Is Heaven
Charlene: “It stood out for me…just scuzzy, melodic pop… a big yes from me.”
JBR Project – I Hate To Tell You
Stu: “Reminds me a little bit of two tone…like The Specials and bands like that. Trumpets and the old melodica gets you thinking of people like Augustus Pablo, but I think they like a bit of big beat as well.”
Princess – Neverlook
Charlene: “I just think it’s brilliant; I’ve put it on almost every playlist I’ve put together in the last year. Sadly they’ve decided to call it a day, so you’ve got one last chance to see them this Saturday as part of Longitude Festival.”
No Oil Paintings – Exodus
Charlene: “I think the essence of this band is best realised live…they lift the roof on any bar that they’re put in. They launched their EP in Belfast Barge a few weeks ago.”
Junk Drawer – Buying Pictures (For The Frame)
Rigsy: “A two track EP is all we have from them so far…kind of ‘90’s indie vibes.”
Sissy – Give Birth To A Mum
Charlene: “What a great track. They are a three piece punk band based in Dublin, and I’ve been a fan of this band since their EP was released last year. In essence, Sissy have something to say and they’ve found their own unique way of saying it.”
Diamondtronic – Traffic Lights
Rigsy: “We’ve featured them before, but this is just a total different direction. We can only congratulate them on such a beautiful, elaborate and intricate piece of music.”
