SUMMARY:Ruel
DESCRIPTION:Following the massive release of “Don’t Say That”\, “Hate Myself” marks a triumphant second singleahead of the next chapter in his double-album project\, following Kicking My Feet(Part One)\, the forthcoming Part Two arrives as Kicking My Feet & Screaming. The new song gives fans a glimpse into a new\, uncharted side of Ruel while still tapping into the vulnerability that he’s known for. At its core\, the track explores what it feels like to be stuck in a toxic\, self-destructive relationship\, knowing it’s hurting you\, but not being able to walk away. \nRuel recalls how the track came about-I wrote this one on theday I met Kenny and Jackson\, and whenyou meet someone for the first time\, you sort of try to focus on getting to know one another. After 5-6hours in the studio\, we had basically nothing but then Kenny threw a bit of a hail Mary\, the three of us mixed ideas around\, and next thing we knew we had the whole song in about 30 mins. Since then\, every session I’ve had with Kenny has flowed so well and the two of us wrote a good chunk of the album Part2 together! \nCo-written by industry moguls Kenny Beats(Dominic Fike\, Vince Staples\, Remi Wolf) and Jackson Morgan\, (Justin Bieber\, Macklemore)\, “Hate Myself” captures what it feels like to love someone who isbad for you and choosing to stay until you start resenting yourself more than them. \nRuel just wrapped the second-leg of his 2026 North American Kicking My Feet Tour\, where he wassupported by UK-born singer-songwriter Arthur Hill\, emerging soul-pop singer Chelsea Jordan and rising San-Francisco native Mercer Henderson. Earlier this year\, he also toured in South America on the Lollapalooza festival circuit in Chile\, Argentina\, and Brazil\, and the Estero Picnic Festivalin Colombia. \nTo celebrate his double-album era\, the pop sensation has also announced he’ll be hitting the road again this fall for the Kicking & Screaming Tour\, heading across the UK and Europe from October 1\, 2026 through October 30\, 2026\, with support from singer-songwriter Sadie Jean. Artist presale beginsTuesday\, April 28 at 10 a.m. local time\, followed by general on-sale Thursday\, April 30 at 10 a.m. localtime.Full tour routing is below. \nKicking & Screaminggot off to a strong start last month with ‘Don’t Say That\,’ and willbring fans 10 new tracks as Ruel builds on his Kicking My Feet journey. All-star collaborators that teamed up to create the highly-anticipated project include Julian Bunetta (Sabrina Carpenter\, One Direction\, Teddy Swims)\, John Ryan (Olivia Dean\, Harry Styles\, Shawn Mendes)\, Kenny Beats (Dominic Fike\,Vince Staples\, Remi Wolf)\, M-Phazes (Demi Lovato\, Eminem\, Noah Cyrus)\, Dan Wilson (Taylor Swift\, Niall Horan\, Adele) & Leroy Clampit (Lily Allen\, Justin Bieber\, Finneas). The album is available for pre-order HERE\, and will be available to stream on June 12th. \nRUEL RELEASES “HATE MYSELF” LISTEN HERE. \nFROM FORTHCOMING PART TWO OF DOUBLE-ALBUM KICKING MY FEET & SCREAMING ACCOMPANIED BY NEW MUSIC VIDEO WATCH HERE. \nEMBARKING ON TOUR IN THE UK AND ACROSS EUROPE LATER THIS YEAR.

SUMMARY:Nicotine Dolls
DESCRIPTION:Nicotine Dolls make the kind of music you can’t hide from. The storytelling is front-and-center\, beckoning your attention like a dusty old novel you can’t put down until the last page. The vocals are gritty and honest\, holding nothing back in fits of joy\, regret\, and sadness similar to a phone call from one of your best friends at 3am. The instrumentation is equally punchy and nuanced\, grafting rafter-reaching hooks on top of rich soundscapes. The moment the Nicotine Dolls – led by Sam Cieri [vocals]\, John Merritt [bass]\, and Abel Tabares [drums] – hit that first note\, the air shifts. A wave of collection emotion that doesn’t ask permission just hits you. \nCieri started Nicotine Dolls in New York after a winding path that stretched from leaving high school to make music\, to South Florida bars\, to Vegas gigs\, to eventually landing a Broadway tour. The stage paid the bills\, but songwriting was always the compass. As he wrote and shaped the sound\, the band solidified around a shared vision rooted in honesty\, tension\, longing\, and the courage to say the quiet things out loud. \nSince forming in 2019\, Nicotine Dolls have built a fiercely loyal fanbase through relentless creativity and intimate connection. Their breakout single “What Makes You Sad” has earned nearly 20 million Spotify streams\, and their cover of Tina Turner’s “The Best” is approaching 30 million streams. Collectively\, their catalog has more than 80 million streams and they’ve developed a massive digital community with more than 1.8 million followers on TikTok and over a million on Instagram. \nNicotine Dolls have released a series of self-penned and produced singles and EPs\, along with their 2025 debut LP “an Attempt at Romantic.” The band have been hailed by SPIN for their “vulnerability and determination\,” calling Cieri a “charismatic\, gravelly-throated powerhouse with the rasp of Bruce Springsteen and the emotion of Lewis Capaldi.”

SUMMARY:Violet Grohl
DESCRIPTION:A native of Los Angeles\, Violet Grohl has been immersed in music from her earliest days. Whether singing along to Beatles vinyl alone in her bedroom\, writing her first song at the age of 12 or gracing real world stages big and small\, Violet has always been focused on increasing her musical palette and vocabulary.

SUMMARY:Brian Horgan
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Brian Horgan hails from Enniscorthy\, the town of Colm Tobin\, Vinegar Hill\, Eileen Grey and Annie Jameson (mother to the inventor of the radio; Marconi) the River Slaney and the 10th Century historic Norman castle. \nBrian’s debut album ‘Start Again’ is rooted in the place where he grew up. He’s taught English in Europe\, worked as the Development Director in Dublin’s Abbey Theatre and has been involved in Music/Theatre/Arts all around the globe. He is also CX Director at the CX Academy and owner of Horgan Consultancy. \nHe’s home again\, for now. Not quite starting again but taking a step back and reflecting. Releasing the album he always thought he could\, and should. His songwriting and music are instinctive and well-received\, with people asking if he had anything on record? \nBrian’s passion is to sing\, to write\, to perform something unique. Something all his own. Personal\, most certainly\, but also connective and relatable. The thoughts and the sometimes travails of a lived experience. His listeners are in his songs. \nBrian’s played live with his band in sold-out shows at The Sugar Club\, No. 10 Ormond Quay\, Smock Alley\, Bewleys Café Theatre and The Abbey Theatre. Also in New York City as an invited guest performer of the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA). \nHe’s no ‘Small Voice’\, he isn’t a balladeer in the corner of your local. Not your typical ‘Singer/Songwriter’ in the typical fashion. (Much as we all love that…) There’s a bit more to Brian Horgan. He’s taken this long to create ‘Start Again’\, thought a great deal about it. He’s where it has led him and we’re invited along. \nBrian Horgan says\, “It is all simply a journey of love and experience even (or especially) in its difficult moments”.

SUMMARY:Tigercub
DESCRIPTION:UK rock trio Tigercub have quickly become one of modern rock’s most forward-thinking bands\, known for massive riffs\, cinematic songwriting\, and explosive live shows. Fronted by guitarist/vocalist Jamie Hall with bassist Jimi Wheelwright and drummer James Allix\, they’ve built a global following through relentless touring with Royal Blood\, Highly Suspect\, Porno For Pyros\, Clutch\, and appearances at Reading & Leeds Festivals. \nFollowing the critical acclaim of 2023’s The Perfume of Decay\, Tigercub return with their fourth LP\, Nets to Catch the Wind\, produced by Tom Dalgety via Loosegroove Records (cofounded by Stone Gossard). Blending the ambition of Muse and Queens of the Stone Age with their own dark\, dynamic sound\, Tigercub continue to push contemporary rock forward. \nJamie Hall was staring out the window\, letting his mind wander\, when a phrase landed in his imagination: ‘Nets to Catch the Wind.’ It was fleeting\, almost accidental\, but it resonated. It sounded expansive\, cinematic\, and full of possibility. It sounded like Tigercub. \n‘The Perfume of Decay was our midnight confession\,’ Hall reflects. ‘A gothic\, heavy-metal record steeped in anxiety and noise. Nets To Catch The Wind is the dawn that follows\, the white-light record set in the space between dreaming and waking. We built whole worlds out of darkness\, and this record is about learning to live in the light even when you know it will not last.’ \nRecorded over nine days at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales\, where Queen\, Rush\, and Oasis famously wrote records\, Nets To Catch The Wind captures Tigercub at their most cinematic and unrestrained. Many core takes were tracked live\, preserving the raw chemistry of the Brighton trio\, Jamie Hall on vocals and guitar\, Jimi Wheelwright on bass\, and James Allix on drums\, resulting in an album that is both immediate and transcendent. Produced by Tom Dalgety\, known for his work with Royal Blood\, Ghost\, and Pixies\, the record pushes the band into expansive\, textured territory\, exploring dynamics\, space\, and emotion in new ways.

SUMMARY:Kerbdog
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from Kilkenny\, the legendary band Kerbdog\, which include – Cormac Battle (guitar/vocals)\, Colin Fennelly (bass)\, Billy Dalton (guitar) and Darragh Butler (drums)\, are excited to bring news to their loyal fans.\nTo celebrate 30 years of On The Turn\, they will play the album in it’s entirety\, for one night only\, at the iconic 3Olympia Theatre\, Dublin on Saturday 31st October 2026.\nTickets priced from €32.50 including booking fee & €1.50 restoration levy on sale now with Ticketmaster Ireland \n“For reasons that allude me\, 2025 has been a very busy year for Kerbdog on the live front (Forest Fest\, touring with Kaiser Chiefs and Reef to name a few)\, so it’s time to take a break from it all…… However\, with our album “On The Turn” heading towards 30 years in existence (We’re in mega denial about this fact) we’ve decided to do a live rendition of the entire record\, but just a once only in Ireland\, on Saturday 31st Oct 2026 at Dublin’s beautiful 3Olympia Theatre. \nWe’ll be playing tracks that were rarely if ever played live\, so there’s proper homework to be done!!!!. Naturally\, we’ll be doing the other “hits” too and other surprises you’ll hear about in due course. We hope that you can come and join us for this occasion from wherever you may dwell\, it’ll be a very special night in very special place. Cormac x” \nAbout Kerbdog\nKerbdog rapidly rose to fame in the mid-90s with and were set to rock the world with their eardrum battering melodies which were a clash of indie and metal. Battle’s songwriting nous married with simple\, dropped D riffs with a pop sensibility had A&R managers from around the world seeking to sign the band. They relocated to London and signed with Mercury Records and the four decamped in the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales to record their debut album with Jack Endino\, the producer responsible for Nirvana’s debut Bleach.  \n“We were fans of that album\, but we enlisted him after we’d heard what he’d done on Push\, an album by a little-known Seattle band called Gruntruck\,” says Battle. “We went to the studio where Queen did Bohemian Rhapsody and worked very hard on the album and put in the hours. Brazilian metal titans Sepultura were recording there at the same time and we could hear their album Chaos AD coming together. I think some of what they were doing seeped into what we were doing. It made the record heavier and chunkier than we intended\, but we were happy with the results.” \nTheir 1993 eponymous debut was impressive enough and spawned four singles\, hitting a sweet spot in a Venn diagram marked metal and grunge. Their follow-up\, On The Turn\, saw the band truly find their feet\, and they spent the full summer of 1995 in Los Angeles in the legendary Sound City Studios and A&M Studios working hard to craft their next set of hit singles with producer Garth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine). \nUnfortunately\, Kerbdog were unlucky with timing and after an unbelievable summer in LA and a potential hit record waiting to be released\, their return to Ireland saw fate conspire against them. Their album was delayed and when it was released in 1997\, mainstream music press’ attention had moved on from alternative rock to Britpop. Their momentum was lost and effectively changed the trajectory of the band which struggled to fill venues and resulted in the then trio parting ways. “To cut a very long story short\, On The Turn was the right album at the wrong time\,” says Battle.  \nKerbdog’s loyal fans however have kept the faith over the decades and fans of alternative rock who had bought their albums\, raved about their music with an evangelistic vigour. The band became a cult concern years after the fact\, thanks largely to On The Turn. Although the band split in 1998\, they reunited in the mid-2000s for several live shows which resulted in the 2014 live album Congregation…and their story continues…….
