Twelve most excellent months in, we celebrate our very first birthday – to the day, no less – on Saturday, May 3 at Belfast’s Voodoo at the second ever outing of our gig/club night, No Tomorrow. Headlining on the night are We Cut Corners (pictured), the Dublin indie-rock duo whose new second album, Think Nothing, is set to see them elevated to the highest echelons of worship-worthy fanboyery (and, indeed, -girlery). Brilliantly urgent and idiosyncratic in equal proportion, recent singles ‘YKK’, ‘Best Friend’ and ‘Every Thief’ are go-to tracks to heed their mastery. Main support on the night comes from Australian…

“I am not a loner, I’m just alone.” Ahead of headlining our gig/club night, No Tomorrow, at Belfast’s Voodoo on Saturday, May 3, Dublin indie rock duo We Cut Corners have had their track ‘Blue’ masterfully contorted by Galway producer Daithí. Set to feature on We Cut Corners’ forthcoming second album, Think Nothing, the remix of ‘Blue’ is both structurally warped and vocally frenetic, resulting in a brilliant schizoid rendering of the original. Think Nothing is released on April 25 in Ireland) and May 12 in the UK. Believe it or not, our show with We Cut Corners on Saturday, May 3…

Taken from their forthcoming second album, Think Nothing, Dublin indie rock duo We Cut Corners have released their latest single, the brilliantly bobbing ‘Best Friend’ The follow-up to the equally impressive ‘Every Thief’ and ‘YKK’ by Conall Ó Breacháin and John Duignan, the track is a stripped-back affair, vehement vocals melding with abrasive guitar textures and a rhythm that emerges from a strut to a crashing conclusion. Think Nothing is released via Delphi in April. Check out the artwork for the album and stream ‘Best Friend’ via Soundcloud below.

Sixty-five increasingly exceptional songs in, we’re pleased to round up our first ever countdown of the Top 100 Irish Tracks of the year. Truth be told, this list could have been much, much longesear – such was the extent and quality of the output from our homegrown musical talent over the last twelve months. From unassuming bedroom artists treading the often very thin line between absolute anonymity and mass recognition to genre-defining, decades-spanning bands that fall comfortably under “legendary” status, we’ve been very happily bombarded with some truly extraordinary Irish music over the last year. Until next time… listen, enjoy…

Having really hit home with the superb ‘YKK’ last month, Dublin indie rock duo We Cut Corners have unveiled the video to their new single, ‘Every Thief’. Set to feature on their forthcoming debut album, Think Nothing – out via Delphi in April – the track is, for the most part, a decidedly more restrained affair than ‘YKK’ from Conall Ó Breacháin and John Duignan. Sparse and delicate in equal proportion for the first half, the track erupts at its climax – the refrain of “Will you be mine?” cutting off in striking fashion at the end. Watch the video for the…
