Raglans

“The strongest, most self-assured band in years…They have ‘world beaters’ written all over them.” – Hot Press

Raglans are four feisty alt rock dreamers from Dublin. They consist of Stephen Kelly (lead vocals, guitar), Rhos Horan (bass, backing vocals), Conn O’Ruanaidh (drums, backing vocals) and Brendan McGlynn (lead guitar, backing vocals) and they take their name from a poem by Patrick Kavanagh. Happily.

If the circumstances surrounding your birth can define what happens for the rest of your life then the story that Raglans actually formed in a music festival tent was surely an indication of what their future held, for theirs is a rowdy, crowd-teasing musical tumult, all muscular new wave guitars, gritty pop (aka Gritpop) melodies and suitably ragged epic glories.

Swedish Death Candy

With only one demo EP until their belt, psychedelic rock band Swedish Death Candy still managed to get mentions in NME, and receive some major love from The Fader. This just goes to show the buzz surrounding this group of 20-somethings from London.

They are on the threshold of becoming one of the first genuine major British Country acts. Over the past year or so Ward Thomas have proved to be one of the most exciting and talented of the new crop of names to have appeared on the international Country music scene.
