‘We need love’ is sure to get you excited for the weekend ahead and for Exploding Eyes’ debut LP due for release soon!

REUBEN KEENEY

This 22 year old Irish music producer gained a lot of interest when he arrived on the scene a few years ago.

JESSE JOHN HEFFERNAN

This soul singer is definitely someone to listen to over the weekend, perfect choice for easy listening on a lazy sunday afternoon! His latest song shelter is beautiful and hypnotic.

LUCIE AZCONAGA

The latest catchy single from Lucie, ‘Chatterbox’, has a really summery sound. Sitting in a beer garden on a nice sunny day, Lucie overheard two guys having a chat, one chatterbox and another extremely bored chap which became the inspiration for this wonderful song!

PINE THE PILCROW

Since making waves with their debut EP in March, Pine The Pilcrow have secured four slots at Electric Picnic this year and several other gigs this summer. Another band not to be missed! Their latest song ‘It’s Only Love’ is outstanding.
