This week’s round-up of the best new Irish music sees Conchúr White deliver his dazzling debut album ‘Swirling Violets’ alongside Megan Nic Ruairí’s debut EP ‘Made of Sin’. Villagers usher in their next chapter with the release of  ‘The Golden Time’ while Conor O’Brien’s former Immediate co-star David Hedderman returns with his 4th solo single ‘Pokerface’.

Also on the solo beat is Delorentos’ Ro Yourell who returns with his 3rd solo offering ‘Dance With Me’, M(h)aol drummer Fears previews her second solo album with lead single ‘4th of the 1st’ while coverstar Nell Mescal previews her debut EP ‘Can I Miss It For A Minute?’ with lead single ‘Killing Time’.

Having been utterly robbed of a Choice Music Prize nomination for their record-breaking debut album ‘Full Circle’, Travis & Elzzz return with ‘Blockbuster’ while Picture This return with one of their best songs to date ‘Act of Innocence’.

Having gone from playing Whelan’s Ones To Watch to selling out the Olympia inside of a year Kingfishr will be hoping that their latest offering ‘Leave’ can help them build upon their incredible breakthrough year.

Having recently signed to Nice Swan Records (formerly home of Sprints), Chalk are kicking off 2024 the right way with Claw, while hotshot rocker Spider continues to build towards the release of her debut album with new single ‘daisy chains’.

You’ll find all these tracks plus new releases from TV People, Pauric O’Meara, Annika Kilkenny, Siights, Isaac Butler, our favourite blow-in Skull The Pierre and more besides below.
