ROE - A Quiet Place

Our highlight from Derry-born artist ROE and her debut EP is most-definitely 'A Quiet Place'.
It's ready for radio indie pop, with a driving 808 giving the track a whopping punch, much like ROE's vocal performance.

Wyvern Lingo - Brutal Lottery
'Brutal Lottery' is a harrowing exploration of refugee children missing throughout Europe in search of a better life.

Breezy Ideygoke - Bag A Man
Breezy Ideygoke has created a tune that the lost summer could've done with 'Bag a Man'.
The chorus on this afrobeat infused track is insatiable, with one listen, it'll be stuck in your head.

Ev Carm - Looking For You
Limerick-born artist Ev Carm puts experimental folk to the fore on 'Looking For You'.
If you're looking for some Mic Christopher, may we suggest you give this a spin. The track's layered production gives it a warm tonic, with Ev Carm's vocals the perfect gin. Toppings optional.
Lucy McWilliams - RUNAWAY
Lucy McWilliams first burst onto the scene on Malaki's 'Fair Play', and has now released her debut single 'RUNAWAY'.
The daughter of economist David McWilliams, 'RUNAWAY' is a debut track that belies the inexperience. It is insanely smooth, with McWilliams' vocal performance a force to be reckoned with.
