You guys were kind enough to play our Fund It video a while back, and with the help of some amazing pledges we were able to make our debut EP which launches on November 18 .
As you know, it’s tough out there for new Irish music, but we’re up for the challenge.
Here’s the video for our lead track ‘Everything Ends’. It’s our first ever video, and we’re dead proud of it.

At an estimated cost of up to €170 million, the Luas link-up is planned to run from St Stephen’s Green by Trinity College and up O’Connell Street before doubling back down Marlborough Street and across a new Liffey bridge.

It will connect the Green Line, which terminates at St Stephen’s Green, to the Red Line, which runs along Abbey Street, and also form part of a new line connecting Luas services with a suburban rail station at Broombridge near Cabra.

The seven Irish human rights activists due home in Ireland this afternoon at 2:25 pm were at the last minute prevented from boarding their flight out of Ben Gurion airport by Israeli armed guards. They had been taken last night to a holding cell and were ready to board their 7:40 am flight to London this morning when at the last minute they were prevented from doing so by Israeli security forces and returned to Givon prison. All seven are now being detained indefinitely, with no further news available from Israeli authorities or the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs about when they will be released.

Seven of the 14 Irish human rights activists detained by Israeli authorities as they tried to break the naval blockade on Gaza have missed their flight home this morning. The seven were expected to arrive in Dublin this afternoon, with the final seven expected home tomorrow — a week after their vessel the MV Saoirse was intercepted by Israeli military in international waters. However, it has been reported that the group is now at Tel Aviv airport but their flight has departed.
