  • Premiere: Creepy Future – Trust Your Guts

    April 3, 2025 - By 

    Creepy Future have crash-landed like a flaming police siren hurled through a windscreen. With ‘Trust Your Guts,’ the newly formed three-piece garage punk outfit from Dublin deliver a sub-two-minute ripper that hits like a riot in fast-forward. Made up of Derek (Moutpiece, the ObjectorZ), Conzo (Female Hercules, Afterwardness), and Moose (Wild Rocket, New Gods), Creepy Future feel like a dream-team beamed in from a DIY dimension where songs are short, fast, weird and fun in equal measure. Lyrically, they veer between night terrors, insect plagues, beach life and brain fuzz. Live, it erupts in what they call a ‘life-affirming energy…

  • Video Premiere: Leigh Arthur – Oh I Forgot

    March 31, 2025 - By 

    There’s a moment on ‘Oh I Forgot’ where Leigh Arthur’s voice seems to lean in just a little closer. Where everything else falls away and the full weight of memory hits like a warm gust, momentarily lifting everything. It doesn’t announce itself; it just blooms. That’s the kind of song this is. Quietly devastating. A minor-keyed, heart-stung hymn that burrows in without bluster. A veteran of some of Ireland’s most vital DIY outfits – Dublin lo-fi punk greats Sissy and, for a time, post-punk trio Extravision – Arthur has long carved out a singular presence in the underground. Her current…

  • Track-by-Track: Meljoann – Status

    March 25, 2025 - By 

    One of Ireland’s very best genre-fluid experimentalists Meljoann walks us through Status – a bristling, truth-telling odyssey through queerness, class, digital resistance and emotional survival. Blending industrial pop, retro-futurist funk and slow jams, the album takes aim at Big Tech, cultural cringe and the exploitative mechanics of the music industry, all while staying defiantly heartfelt and fiercely DIY. Here, she breaks down each track’s origins – from leprechaun-coded short stories and algorithmic nightmares to jazz-nerd odysseys and FOSS-slow jams. Status by Meljoann Rainbow Language (is for Losers) This song is rooted in growing up queer, when rural Ireland was still…
