My current favorite song by a new Irish artist is Falling for You by Daithí featuring Sinead White because, not only is it a powerful vocal on her end, but he spent the last year traveling Ireland, recording sounds from the landscape to incorporate into his tracks, so i mean this quite literally when i say this is the sound of Ireland!
Mary Keanes Introduction is brilliant – I need to get his album(s)
My current favourite is” Drowning” by Kevin Nolan because of his stunning vocal and dramatic musical setting

My current favourite song by a new Irish artist is Charlene by Chewing on tinfoil because the video is so simple honest which reflects the song. It’s a tune that’s emotional but not at all soppy. It’s a touch racous and sung in a genuine accent. An all round great package.
I know she’s been around for ages, but Cathy Davey’s new album New Forest is very good, particularly the song Arrow. Birdie is a good listen too.
My current favourite song by a new Irish artist is
Cruel Brunette
by
The Strypes
because
it’s lyrically dextrous, rhythmically fun, aurally pleasing, nauseously honest, and damn catchy.
Have a read of the lyrics even if you don’t want to hear the song.
“Sad songs and waltzes and yesterday’s clothes, are useless to me now”
My current favourite song by a new Irish artist is Bullethead by Fangclub because its a great rough sounding riff laden track that showcases the bands grungey influences. Not sure if it qualifies as new as picked it up midway through last year.
Good few decent tracks from new bands last year; most of ALL TVVINS album, Rocstrongs EP, Hare Sqead and BARQ all worth more than a single listen.
My current favourite song by a new Irish artist is Battles by Clombia Mills because it simply just rocks and I’ve been looking forward to new stuff from them for yonks
My current favourite song by a new Irish Artist is Good Intentions by The New 52. Why? Because its a thumping good tune by a young Irish talent, Darragh Cullen. Both he and his band could go far.
My current favourite song by a new Irish artist is Good Intentions by The New 52 because it’s a catchy, feel-good song with great musicianship.
