  • In Photos: No Tomorrow Launch @ Voodoo, Belfast

    As well as putting on a fantastic exhibition of his gig photography on the night, Belfast-based photographer Diarmuid Kennedy managed to capture the launch of our new gig/club night, No Tomorrow, at Belfast’s Voodoo bar on Saturday night. See below for his photos of our headliners, Derry band Autumns and Belfast/Dublin quartet Cruising.

  • Premiere: Autumns – Honey It’s Winter

    Having stepped in to headline our No Tomorrow launch at Belfast’s Voodoo tomorrow night (Saturday, March 1st), we have an exclusive first listen to ‘Honey It’s Winter’ by Derry lo-fi garage/noise act Autumns. Set for release via CF Records in the Spring, the track is a snappy burst of monochromatic jangle-doom from Christian Donaghey and co., veering between descending Duane Eddy-esque guitar lines, patches of feedback and cavernous vocal exorcisms. Stream the track below via Soundcloud and go here for the (updated) event page for the launch of No Tomorrow.
