Minnesota trio Tiny Moving Parts put the family in emo. Brothers William Chevalier and Matthew Chevalier, and cousin Dylan Mattheisen started kicking out the jams around the time most kids in Ireland would be doing their Junior Cert.

A decade on the emo revivalist have released 6 albums including 2018’s ‘Swell’. The group have been praised for tackling mental health issues and toxic masculinity in their lyrics and for supporting initiatives to make gigs safe places for all.

As frontman Dylan Mattheisen tells us “The biggest issue facing our genre, and our fan base, right now is mental health. I feel there should be more help for bands mental health on tour. I love being on the road, but at times it can be stressful. It can hurt your brain not knowing what day or time it is, constantly travelling city to city, missing events back at home, etc.”
