SUMMARY:Common Ground @ EPIC
DESCRIPTION:Common Ground: Ireland and the EU is a new multimedia exhibition exploring how Ireland’s membership of the European Union has shaped the country socially\, culturally and economically over the past few decades. The exhibition also looks at the impact Ireland has had across Europe\, telling stories of migration\, opportunity\, equality\, education and cultural exchange through immersive displays and personal stories. \n  \n\n\nIreland joined the European Economic Community (EEC) – as the EU was then known – on January 1\, 1973\, after a referendum endorsed by 83% of voters. It was then among the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in western Europe\, with a population just over half of its current size. \nIreland’s accession proved to be the most consequential economic milestone in the half century since Irish independence\, but it also set in motion far-reaching social and cultural change. EU legislation has driven improvements in workers’ rights\, for example\, and set binding targets for climate action. Irish people have studied and built new lives across Europe\, while many Europeans have since made their homes here in Ireland. \nAs Ireland assumes the EU presidency in 2026\, this new multimedia exhibition explores how a small island nation has extended its influence across Europe\, and how Europe\, in turn\, has profoundly shaped modern Ireland. \nFeatured Stories:\nEqual Pay \nStudying Abroad \nAn Ghaeilge \nEntry to this exhibition is included in general admission tickets.

SUMMARY:6 Tracks\, a Series of Conversations\, Music and Performance at Hen’s Teeth
DESCRIPTION:Night-Time Economy Grassroots Music Venues Support Scheme\nHen’s Teeth is delighted to announce the return of 6 Tracks – their much-loved conversation and performance series – in their Blackpitts venue for a new show event season running monthly from July through November 2026. \nEach evening\, a musician sits down with hosts Laura Twagirayezu (aka Big Cheeks) or Sally Cinnamon to talk through six tracks – the songs that have shaped their sound\, their life\, the way they hear the world and how it impacted their craft\, followed by a live performance into the evening. Think Tiny Desk meets Desert Island Discs. \nThe series will begin with the incredible Sorcha Richardson on Thursday\, 30th July. 6 Tracks will then continue monthly with a line up of Ireland’s most talented and inspiring artists\, including Efé\, Brigid Mae Power\, Saoirse Miller and a very special guest to close out the series to be announced. \n6 Tracks at Hen’s Teeth is kindly supported by the Department of Culture’s Night-Time Economy Grassroots Music Venues Support Scheme. \n\n  \nEvent details\nDoors from 6:30pm till late \nWhen? Monthly from July – November\, full line up and dates below \nTickets: €15 per night including booking fees from Eventbrite. \nWhere: Hen’s Teeth\, Blackpitts\, Dublin 8\, D08A9FD \n\nAbout the Acts\nSorcha Richardson (30th July)\nSorcha Richardson is an Irish singer and songwriter. She rose to critical acclaim from her debut album First Prize Bravery\, which was an evocative depiction of young adulthood\, a time during which she ventured from home in Dublin to New York\, Los Angeles and back again. Her follow up album Smiling Like an Idiot cemented her status as one of Ireland’s most revered songwriters and saw her tour North America\, Europe and Australia\, both as a headliner and as a special guest for artists such as Snow Patrol\, Mitski and Dermot Kennedy. \nShe returns this September 2026 with her third album\, Draw The Outline. Made after relocating to West Kerry\, it’s her most intimate and reflective record to date – trading synth-led textures for acoustic guitar\, woodwinds\, saxophone\, Hammond organ and piano\, and turning her gaze inward. \nBrigid Mae Power (27th August)\n \nBrigid Mae Power’s music never quite settles on solid ground. The Irish singer-songwriter sits between past and present\, between traditional and modern forms\, between the heaven in her voice and the earthbound epiphanies of her words. There’s something distinctively Irish in her sound\, delivered with a freshness and emotional rawness that feels entirely her own. \nShe’s released three albums to date\, including her acclaimed 2022 record Head Above the Water\, which was Rough Trade’s Album of the Month and earned praise from Pitchfork\, Mojo\, Uncut\, The Guardian and The Irish Times. Her albums blend traditional folk and country into something that feels both personal and wide-reaching. \nHer most recent record\, Songs for You\, is a heartfelt collection of covers dedicated to her father\, reworking songs by Roy Orbison\, Tom Verlaine\, Neil Young and Cass McCombs into something minimal\, intimate and entirely her own. \nEfé (24th September)\n \nEFÉ is an Irish artist hailing from Dublin. EFÉ released her debut EP What Should We Do This Summer in October 2020 which was recorded in her bedroom with the help of her friends. Her music is a sunny slice of bedroom pop\, evoking images of blue skies on a summer’s day using shimmering synth pads and funky\, modulated guitar tones. EFÉ sets herself apart from other artists with the unique and playful groove that provides the grounding for her DIY style\, and definitely marks her as one to watch from the emerging Irish scene. Her music is effortlessly nostalgic\, pulling on indie-tinged memories of the late 1990s and early 2000s. \nAfter signing to US label Fader; home to artists such as Clairo – she leaned further into her rock influences for her most recent single releases in 2024\, Truth Truth\, 2000Seven and you say that I’m crazy\, lo-fi indie tracks that make space for guitars to soar. As she puts it\, “In earlier projects I was scared to go full force with the rock sound\, but this year I thought\, let me just do it.” \nSaoirse Miller (29th October)\n \nSaoirse Miller is a Dublin-based singer-songwriter and producer whose music is rooted in Irish folklore and mythology and a lifelong fascination with the otherworldly. Her sound – spanning experimental folk\, ambient textures and ethereal vocal production – is less about genre and more about world-building\, creating somewhere else entirely to disappear into. \nInfluenced by Florence and the Machine\, Grouper\, Lisa O’Neill and the poetry of W.B. Yeats\, Saoirse writes songs that transform personal feeling into something mythic. Her connection to place runs deep – her grandparents are from Mizen Head in West Cork\, and it’s a landscape she returns to again and again\, in her music as much as in life. \nHer debut EP\, Birds\, was written and produced entirely by Saoirse herself\, with each track designed to blend and interlude into the next as one continuous body of work. Mixed and mastered to tape by Karl Barnes\, Birds channels Irish traditional music and folklore through an electroacoustic lens\, resulting in a sound that feels both faded and familiar. \nAbout Laura Twagirayezu\nRwandan-born and Dublin-based\, Laura is a curator\, DJ and cultural connector whose work consistently brings depth and warmth to questions of music\, identity and community. Whether she’s hosting her own Lobby Lectures series\, curating listening events through her gallery UMUTI:MA\, or moving between Afrobeats\, Amapiano\, Soul and R&B in the DJ booth – she understands music as a lens. 6 Tracks is a natural home for that kind of conversation. \nAbout Sally Cinnamon\nSally Cinnamon is one of Dublin’s most well known DJs\, a fixture of Dublin’s nightlife since 2001. Her sets are genre-spanning by design\, moving fluidly between afrobeat\, techno and dubstep\, with a strong undercurrent of retro and psychedelic sound that gives her selections a relatability for all. She has also turned her hand to presenting\, hosting the Hennessy Sound Lounge\, where she interviewed Irish artists including David Kitt\, Pillow Queens\, Vivienne Dick and BP Fallon about the records that shaped their work. \nAbout Hen’s Teeth\nHen’s Teeth creates contemporary cultural experiences from Blackpitts in Dublin 8. The crew has got a love for art\, music\, food and culture and the space where they all come together – whether that’s through their own gallery & event space or for some of the interesting folks and brands that they collaborate with across the world. Previous music events include Hennessy Sound Lounge\, Move Slow & 6 Tracks. \n\nTickets & more information available at www.hensteethdublin.com

SUMMARY:Nieve Ella
DESCRIPTION:Nieve Ella is an artist for those still figuring it out. Her debut album\, How Long Will It Take?\, explores the messy reality of coming of age\, navigating identity and relationships while feeling like everyone else has somehow got there first. Rather than offering easy answers\, Nieve finds hope in simply continuing forward\, embracing the mess and choosing progress over perfection through emotionally candid songwriting and production that moves as unpredictably as the thoughts she’s trying to untangle. \nSince emerging\, Nieve has built one of the UK’s most fiercely engaged young fanbases\, amassing more than 20 million streams\, earning multiple BBC Radio 1 playlist additions and praise from The Observer\, The Independent\, Rolling Stone UK\, NME\, DORK\, DIY\, Clash\, Wonderland\, Hunger and more. That momentum has translated into a formidable live following with multiple headline tours across the UK and Europe\, selling out in minutes\, standout performances at Reading & Leeds\, TRNSMT\, BST Hyde Park\, and Lollapalooza Berlin\, cementing her reputation as bigger stages bring bigger crowds.

SUMMARY:Hey\, Nothing
DESCRIPTION:hey\, nothing—composed of best friends Tyler Mabry and Harlow Phillips—has built a devoted following with their richly literary emo-folk\, marked by indelible vocal interplay and unflinching explorations of addiction\, toxicity\, trauma\, and family struggles. \n  \nInspired by Stephen Chbosky’s coming-of-age classic The Perks of Being a Wallflower\, the duo has sold out runs of headlining shows and earned praise from outlets including NPR Music\, Alternative Press\, Pigeons & Planes\, Stereogum\, Brooklyn Vegan\, and even their hometown Atlanta newspaper. \nBarely 21 years old\, hey\, nothing has spent much of 2025 deepening their connection with a devoted fan base through passionate\, story-driven live shows—equal parts poignant and playfully humorous—at both headline performances and major festivals like Bonnaroo\, Lollapalooza\, Shaky Knees\, Austin City Limits\, and All Things Go\, solidifying their unshakable identity and a growing community of die-hard fans.

SUMMARY:Wendy Eisenberg
DESCRIPTION:Wendy Eisenberg has spent the past decade as a fixture of independent music and an artist of inspired multiplicity. As a singer-songwriter\, improviser\, and virtuoso guitarist\, the coordinates of their artistry are ever-shifting\, from art-rock to jazz to blistering free improv and eloquent folk. On catalog highlights including 2020’s ‘Auto’ and the 2024 free-jazz sprawler ‘Viewfinder’\, they’ve made a signature of ambition. \nAs Eisenberg told fellow guitarist Nick Millevoi in an interview for Premier Guitar in 2021\, “I need to be in a punk band at the same time as I need to be playing free improv at the same time as I need to be playing songs. All at the same time—otherwise none of the practices will work for me.” Their musical range isn’t a glib manifestation of eclecticism\, but a genuine artistic essence.

SUMMARY:CAR BOMB
DESCRIPTION:Originally formed on Long Island\, New York in 2000\, Car Bomb is a band whose style is marked by a highly experimental and extremely aggressive approach to metal. Their unpredictable blend of evolving polyrhythms\, shifting tempos\, syncopated down-tuned guitars\, jazz-influenced drumming\, harmonically deconstructive riffing\, and dynamic vocals create a sound that is pulverizingly heavy and intensely disorienting. They create music that is fluid and ever changing\, and are not afraid of veering off on bold melodic tangents. This unique sound combined with a strong DIY work ethic and a continuously growing fan base has earned them the opportunity to tour with larger acts in the genre. \nCar Bomb released their debut album Centralia on Relapse Records in 2007\, and supported the record on US tours with High on Fire in 2008 and Gojira in 2009. They self-released their second album w^w^^w^w (pronounced “w-click-w” or “the waveform album”) in 2012. It featured guest vocals by Joseph Duplantier of Gojira\, whom they’d again tour with later that year. In 2014\, Car Bomb was invited to tour Europe for the first time\, opening up for Meshuggah on their 25th anniversary tour. \nCar Bomb released their third album Meta in the fall of 2016\, which again featured Joseph Duplantier who this time also shared a co-production credit with Greg Kubacki. The album also features Frank Mullen of Suffocation and was mixed by Josh Wilbur (Korn\, Megadeth\, Lamb of God\, Parkway Drive). The band kicked off the release with shows supporting Gojira and Tesseract as well as opening for The Dillinger Escape Plan on their farewell US tour. In early 2017\, Car Bomb headed back to Europe/UK opening up for Gojira. The band then headlined their own European tour in September before returning to the US in October to support Animals as Leaders and Periphery. \nThe band is currently headquartered at Silvercord Studios in Brooklyn\, New York

SUMMARY:MUNA
DESCRIPTION:MUNA’s journey has always been about bringing to light the complex\, messy\, ecstatic realities of life\, and with their fourth album\, Dancing On The Wall\, they’ve never been sharper\, darker\, or more exhilarating. \nEmerging from the sparkly\, confetti-strewn heights of their 2022 self-titled record\, MUNA now channel the raw\, anxious\, and sweat-soaked energy of living in a city (Los Angeles) of unrelenting heat\, a corrupted world wrought by political tension\, and the quieter and more personal pressures of millennial precarity and heartache in these uncertain times. \nThe result is a record that feels both intimate and spectacular: a fast-paced\, hard-edged dance pop world built with teeth\, wit\, and emotional resonance—a soundtrack for hearts on fire amidst the tumult of modern life. \nDancing On The Wall is MUNA doing what they do best: capturing the cultural moment\,  the oversaturated\, escapist spectacle of contemporary life\,  and bending it to their own vision. Influenced by dance\, post-punk\, synth-pop and new wave\, the songs are drenched in a metallic sheen yet carry a brooding melancholy that undercuts the hedonistic highs. The tension between propulsive instrumentals and the band’s classically introspective and thoughtful lyricism drives the album’s restless pulse. \nAcross the record\, MUNA explores desire\, intimacy\, and connection against a backdrop of a world in flux. There’s a quiet reckoning throughout the album with how to keep living\, loving\, and reaching for one another while living in these times. Tracks like “Wannabeher” capture the dizzying thrill of stepping fully into someone else’s fantasy. “So What” is a somber epic that muses on post-party loneliness\, while “Why Do I Get A Good Feeling” lingers long after the frenetic beat ends\, the swirl of strings and vocals becoming a meditation on suspended possibilities. The album closes with “Buzzkiller\,” a stark reckoning with desire and its aftermath\, the ache of achieving what you wanted only to realise new questions\, doubts\, and hungers remain. \nWhile Dancing On The Wall is unafraid of its darkness\, it’s also a record of exuberance\, wit\, and communal joy. MUNA’s songs transport listeners to dancefloors where heat is friction\, where longing meets the ecstatic\, and where the uncertainty of life becomes a soundtrack for living fully. “We still fall in and out of love. We reach out to one another. Perhaps it’s a call to step outside the algorithm and into the richness of our lives\,” the band says\,  a sentiment that runs through the record’s core. \nMUNA were selected by Harry Styles as the first support act he took out on his debut solo tour\, and have since shared stages with Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour\, Lorde\, boygenius\, and Phoebe Bridgers. From sold-out club shows to festival main stages\, they’ve grown into pop artists who command both spectacle and intimacy with equal confidence. \nTheir previous work\, including the viral hit “Silk Chiffon\,” has earned hundreds of millions of streams and widespread acclaim\, alongside TV appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\, The Late Late Show with James Corden\, Jimmy Kimmel Live\, The Ellen DeGeneres Show\, and Good Morning America. The band also maintains a devoted following across Instagram\, Tiktok\, and Spotify—but their ability to convert these followers and listeners into fans who ardently follow them across the globe for their euphoric concerts sets them apart. \nThe record is produced by Naomi McPherson\, with their trademark attention to detail blending effortlessly with bandmate Josette Maskin’s well-honed behind-the-scenes pop technique to create living\, breathing worlds for lead singer Katie Gavin’s incisive lyricism and signature voice. Dancing On The Wall blends euphoric sonic landscapes with sharp\, human storytelling. The album reflects a fiercely self-directed creative process\, one shaped by instinct\, trust\, and total artistic control. It feels lived-in\, urgent\, and cinematic\,  a reflection of a generation navigating uncertainty while refusing to let go of joy. With this album\, MUNA proves once again that pop can be daring\, intimate\, and socially conscious all at once: a record that doesn’t just capture the moment\, but distills it into a world you want to inhabit. \nA portion of the proceeds from MUNA’s Get So Hot Tour will go to TAC and their work supporting LGBTQ Youth and Queer Migrants across the US.

SUMMARY:De Staat
DESCRIPTION:De Staat has built a reputation as one of Europe’s most inventive and fearless live acts. With six studio albums and numerous live shows under their belt\, the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of what a rock band can be. From the pounding rally cries of ‘Witch Doctor’ to the razor-sharp commentary of ‘KITTY KITTY’\, De Staat has long explored themes of demagoguery and mass manipulation. De Staat has played – and in some cases headlined – major festivals including SXSW\, Glastonbury\, Lowlands\, Sziget\, Boomtown\, Rock for People\, Pukkelpop\, Rock Werchter and Deichbrand and toured with bands like The Rolling Stones\, Muse\, and Biffy Clyro. \nTheir music-spanning industrial grooves\, heavy riffs\, experimental electronics\, and pop sensibility – has been featured in global campaigns and games\, winning Edison Awards\, 3FM Awards\, multiple music video awards\, a Bernays Lifetime Achievement Award and international critical acclaim. \nAfter two years of silence\, De Staat returns with a long-awaited\, seventh self-titled album\, art installation and live show\, marking nearly 25 years of pushing boundaries in the art rock landscape. Their latest creation taps into today’s dystopian anxieties like never before\, where power\, populism\, and control collide\, gradually erasing the line between reality and fiction.

SUMMARY:Dr John Cooper Clarke
DESCRIPTION:Known as the ‘Godfather of Punk Poetry” and the original people’s poet\, Dr. John Cooper Clarke has announced he’ll take the stage at 3Olympia Theatre\, Dublin on Thursday 12th November 2026.\nTickets priced from €38.15 including booking fee & €1.50 restoration levy on sale now with Ticketmaster Ireland \nLiterary phenomenon John Cooper Clarke is a British cult hero. Known as the ‘Godfather of Punk Poetry” and the original people’s poet\, John’s cultural influence spans literature\, music and fashion. From creating some of the most iconic poetry of the modern era\, including the world’s most popular wedding poem “I Wanna Be Yours” ( recently celebrating over a billion streams in its incarnation as a hit record by the Arctic Monkeys) to sharing his life story through his 120k selling memoir of the same name and the recent release of his new best-selling poetry collection “WHAT” which is full of John’s much-loved sardonic wit and hilarious ponderings on modern life. \n“One of Britain’s outstanding poets”– Sir Paul McCartney \n“Fantastically entertaining. As a writer of comic prose Clarke is the match of anyone alive\, and his turns of phrase are as sharp as his suits”– The Times \n“An immensely entertaining memoir that fizzes with wit…It’s impossible not to hear him read every word aloud in your head with that unforgettable Manc drawl”– NME \n“Riveting”-The Observer \nJohn is referenced as a major influence not just by the Arctic Monkeys but also by artists across the globe… As well as musicians like Alex Turner\, The Sleaford Mods and Plan B\, his legendary number “Evidently Chickentown” plays out the penultimate episode of The Sopranos. Watching John Cooper Clarke perform is an opportunity to see a living legend at the top of his game. Doctor John Cooper Clarke shot to prominence in the 1970s. Captivating audiences with his unique poetry and delivery style\, he clawed his way up from working men’s clubs and cabaret venues in his native Salford and Manchester\, to become one of the most prolific figures in punk. \nJohn’s early live shows were renowned occasions\, and headline gigs were supported by man soon-to-be superstars including Joy Division\, New Order and Duran Duran\, as well as playing as special guest on shows by the Sex Pistols\, Buzzcocks and The Clash. After the release of his seminal album on CBS “Snap\, Crackle and Bop” where John’s poems were put to music by the legendary music producer Martin Hannett\, he was firmly established as one of the most important artists of the Punk era. His recorded album was followed by the release of his first collection 10 Years in an Open Necked Shirt. The book is one of the best-selling poetry anthologies ever in the UK\, Canada and Australia. \nAs relevant and vibrant as ever\, John Cooper Clarke’s influence is just as visible in contemporary pop culture\, with his trademark ‘look’ resonating with fashion-conscious individuals across all demographics and his poetry features in the UK national curriculum syllabus. Having had a groundbreaking effect on modern music\, his influence can be heard within the social observations of the Arctic Monkeys\, amongst many others. John’s 2018 poetry collection The Luckiest Guy Alive featured 30 new poems and his long-awaited 2020 autobiography I Wanna Be Yours is a groundbreaking piece of literature and a “riveting memoir”. \nHis sense of humor resounds throughout his career\, and his latest live show is a mix of classic verse\, new material\, hilarious ponderings on modern life\, good honest gags\, riffs and chat. \nIn 2025 John became the first poet to headline an arena at Co-op Live in Manchester. John’s live show is a chance to see one of the world’s most important and entertaining spoken word artists at his bold and brilliant best. John’s best selling poetry collection\, WHAT\, was released in paperback on February 13th 2025.

SUMMARY:Master Boot Record & Fulci
DESCRIPTION:Computer-metal project Master Boot Record and death metal outfit Fulci have now announced a huge co-headline show for The Academy\, Dublin on Friday\, 13th November 2026. \nTickets from €32.50 (inc booking fee & venue facility fee) from Ticketmaster.ie. Bookings subject to 12.5% service charge per ticket (max €10.50) \nABOUT MASTER BOOT RECORD: Master Boot Record (aka MBR) is a Computer Metal project founded in 2016 by producer Vittorio D’amore mixing together heavy metal and synthesized electronic music. \nStarting in 2016 releasing albums under the indie chiptune/demoscene label Data Airlines has moved in 2018 to Blood Music to expand its audience to the electronic scene. In 2019 MASTER BOOT RECORD settled with Metal Blade Records\, the historic metal label based in Los Angeles to release the latest two albums “Floppy Disk Overdrive (2020)” and “Personal Computer (2022)” helping the project to gain increased popularity worldwide. MBR has also produced the video game “VirtuaVerse” as well as its original soundtrack. VirtuaVerse was released in 2020 on all gaming platforms as well as Nintendo Switch\, Xbox and Playstation. The project as a live band increased their live activity in 2022 including live performing artists such as the guitar virtuoso and Ibanez endorser Edoardo Taddei at lead guitars and technical death metal drummer Giulio Galati. \n MBR released 14 albums so far with multiple record labels and has been one of the most successful musicians on US digital distribution platform Bandcamp charting #1 in general charts several times. Because of that Bandcamp often featured the albums and made interviews directly with the artist. \nThe rapid growth of the project sparked an intense live activity with several tours in Europe and North American as well as participating to festivals such as Super Mag Fest (USA)\, Resurrection Fest (Spain)\, Brutal Assault (Czech Republic)\, Wacken Open Air (Germany)\, Baroeg Open Air (Netherlands)\, Resistanz Festival (UK)\, SWR Fest (Portugal)\, Frantic Fest (Italy).  \nIn 2024–2025\, MASTER BOOT RECORD expanded globally with the release of “Hardwarez” (Metal Blade Records\, October 2024)\, followed by an extensive world tour across North America\, Canada\, the UK\, and Europe between September and November 2024\, totaling more than 40 shows. \nThe band recently toured as support for the french electronic metal band Igorrr across Europe and is confirmed to perform at more European festival such as Brutal Assault\, Mystic Festival\, Motocultor\, Arc Tangent and more to be announced. \nThe plans for 2026 include a full North American tour in Spring and a full European / UK tour during the fall that are ready for announcement. \n  \nABOUT FULCI: Fulci is the death metal band named after the “Godfather of gore” Lucio Fulci. The band combines the two\nthings they like the most: horror movies and death metal. \nLucio Fulci films had a strong influence on the aesthetics of extreme music. Fulci’s intent is to pay homage to the maestro by creating concept albums based on his films. The band released three discs till now\, some of which have reached their 6th reissue. We did four USA tours as headliners plus several festivals and apparitions in Europe and South Africa. In 2023 we released a live session in Tampa\, Florida at the Morrisound Studios where American death metal was born. in 2024 will be released our 4th album via 20 Buck Spin Records. Fulci live shows try to resemble cinematic experiences through video projections\, lights\, synthesizers and horror staging. \nIn September 2023 we played a show in a movie theatre presenting our first short movie and soundtrack release. We have a regular collaboration with the fashion brand Slam Jam to develop events\, products and performances. We have a strong fanbase and among others we have been mentioned by Max Cavalera\, Eli Roth and Dwid Helion. KERRANG! Magazine gave us the 35th place on the chart of the 50 bands that have revitalized death metal over the past 10 years.

SUMMARY:Brian Fallon & The Painkillers
DESCRIPTION:With his new album Not Bad for New Jersey\, singer/songwriter Brian Fallon doubles down on the defiant romanticism that’s always fueled his songwriting\, resisting any impulse to grow more guarded with time. Before bringing his fifth solo LP to life\, the Gaslight Anthem frontman returned to the fatalistic love songs that rewired his brain as a child—moody radio mainstays authored by rock icons deep into their second act\, voiced by wild-eyed dreamers he alternately refers to as “beautiful losers” and “desperate lunatics.” As he assembled a set of songs populated by characters who love too hard and risk too much\, Fallon built up a body of work that charges forward with a reckless momentum: the singular internal motion of someone who’s been knocked off course more than once but still chooses to believe\, refusing to surrender to cynicism’s easy gravity. \nProduced by his repeat collaborator Butch Walker (Green Day\, Jesse Malin)\, Not Bad for New Jersey features guest spots from Brandon Flowers of The Killers\, Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen\, avant-garde guitar legend Marc Ribot\, and folk/country luminary Lori McKenna. Through a series of freewheeling sessions with Walker (who handled bass\, piano\, backing vocals\, and more) and Dr. Dog drummer Eric Slick\, Fallon summoned a frenetic collision of power-pop and heartland rock\, arriving at a perfect sonic counterpart to the album’s hot-blooded sincerity. “From the beginning I knew I had to fully lean into the passion and lunacy of all these songs I felt inspired by—there wasn’t much room for subtlety\,” says Fallon\, naming Bryan Adams’ “Run to You” and The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” among his touchstones for the LP. Mostly tracked live at Walker’s studio near Nashville\, Not Bad for New Jersey ultimately reveals an artist driven by the same rapturous abandon that animates his storytelling. “There was so much childlike joy in writing and recording all these songs\,” says Fallon. “The whole album came together so naturally\, with a level of creative fulfillment I hadn’t experienced in a very long time.”
