SUMMARY:Martin Luke Brown
DESCRIPTION:“Start\, middle\, end\, start again.” Martin Luke Brown sings like it’s nothing on ‘highest high’\, but after a while\, we all come to realise that really\, that’s all there is. \nThere’s life\, and there’s death but in the middle\, there’s everything. There’s friendship\, love\, good kisses\, nights out you do or don’t remember\, meals shared\, flats rented. For Martin specifically\, the “etc.” is an amalgamation of hours aimlessly jamming with housemates\, new loves after lost ones\, and cars breaking down like ridiculous comedic relief in the chaos of it all. In an artistic world so obsessed with the extremes on either side\, his third album\, life & death etc refuses to wait for a moment of grandeur\, but instead finds them in the movement of it all – asking us to consider that what are maybe the most profound moments of our lives are often the simplest; conversations around dinner tables or time spent goofing around. \nAfter leaving behind the major label world and reinventing his career into one that allows him to live and work as much as possible with friends\, his artistry too exists right there. For this new release\, he once again returned to working with one of his best friends Matt Zara\, staying true to their partnership that is really little more than “hanging out\, playing music and whatever happens\, happens.” \nFrom that room\, where these two childhood friends seamlessly weave between harmonising and arguing\, stress and laughter\, work and play – the entire energy of life & death etc is encapsulated. \n“I think two people having fun\, especially being shit at something together\, is actually so much more magical\,” he said. Though himself and Grammy-nominated Zara are anything but “shit”\, it’s all in the motivation of the studio\, caring less about technicality as opposed to feel. As he’s moved through his career\, witnessing the industry at basically every level\, Martin finds himself becoming far less interested in proficiency. \nInstead\, it all lies in the energy\, reuniting him with his core belief of what music is all about. Growing up in the church with hymns and a community singing them\, Martin said “When people go to their first gigs people are singing along\, and there’s that euphoric feeling of ‘oh\, we’re all together’\, I had that in church. I think I misconstrued the power of music with the power of God. Or maybe it’s always been God all along\, who knows. ” \n  \nBut there was a take away from that. Going back to the very root of what music is for\, his latest work is inspired by music made by people for people. He said\, “it’s service orientated – I want to make music that serves people in some way.” \nIt drew him to another key influence that stayed on repeat during the making of the record – the infectiously human ‘Do I Ever Cross Your Mind’ by Chet Atkins and Dolly Parton\, a country ditty that collapses into laughter. “It’s goofy and silly and it makes people feel good and makes them want to dance around\,” he said\, ”But there’s sentimentality there\, a subtle depth. I think that’s such a good example of what music can be – joyous but still meaningful. Especially in times like these\, happiness or hope feel like an act of rebellion” \nIt hasn’t been long since we last heard from Martin. His previous record\, man oh man ! arrived just over a year ago\, but he’d grown sick of the strange\, stunting delay musicians have to live with. “I’m always keen to keep moving. It makes it easier to be in alignment with who I really am\, rather than festering in an old feeling for too long\,” Martin said\, rejecting the typical wait that forces artists to be promoting some old version of themselves. Deciding to simply make something new when the moment seemed to call for it\, he’s realised the value of immediacy and capturing the present. \n“I think if I zoom forward to when I’m like 80\, and I’m looking back at all the music I’ve ever done\, I would love each album to be time capsules of that time in my life\,” he said\, treating the records like photo albums\, or fleeting snapshots to feel and let go. “It’s such a dense time\, each year right now deserves an album at least” \nAcross all corners of his life\, that’s a mindset he’s practicing. “I think holding things loosely is such an important life skill\,” he said\, “whenever you grip on to something tightly it doesn’t serve anything. It doesn’t serve the thing that you’re holding on to. It just strangles it\, like poor fucking Lenny from of mice & men hahah” \nlife & death etc\, despite dealing with dense themes of heartbreak\, grief and purpose\, practices a loose grip – hence the flippancy of the title. “Yes my heart took a beating\, but it’s beating nonetheless\,” he sings on ‘nonetheless’\, refusing to grip white-knuckled to pain but instead surrendering to the heartache moving through him and the fact that life will move on despite it. On ‘back of my mind’\, he lets past loves linger as a whisper as it does exactly that\, singing\, “you’re not in my life no more\, but you’re still in the back of my mind.” At the album’s end\, ‘unlearning everything’ serves as both an elegy and a mission statement\, concluding simply “it’s right there in front of my eyes” as a devotion to simply witnessing and feeling the present as all there really is. \n“I think my flow is just writing and putting it out and writing and putting it out and writing and putting it out. Not overly editing or filtering or performing\, because that’s exhausting” he said. Across his three records\, his diary-like lyrical tone that serves that state best has been developing\, but never has it been more candid than here. \nDevoted to making music that sounds like him\, capturing tiny personal moments and somehow turning them into universal experiences\, Martin doesn’t shy away from wanting to bring us all together “That feeling you get at a show or a rave or church or a festival – that euphoria of feeling like you belong\, I want to spend my whole life in that feeling.” \nBOILERPLATE: \nThere’s life\, there’s death\, but everything else exists right here\, in the beautiful middle. After a while\, we all come to realise that really\, that’s all there is. In this new era\, Martin Luke Brown is drinking it all in. \nAfter years of navigating the industry from every angle\, the artist is rejecting rules\, structures and expectations to instead reunite with the community roots of what music is all about. Creating music and living life as “service orientated”\, he’s making art that exists as a time capsule of his own life. Leaving the edges rough and unedited as a show of devotion to the idea that what is most human is most universal. \nAsking us repeatedly to consider that perhaps the most profound moments are the ones right in front of us; the dinner table conversations\, the jokes with friends\, the hazy nights out\, Martin Luke Brown is now at his most candid\, and his most captivating.

SUMMARY:Genesis Owusu
DESCRIPTION:REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE is Genesis Owusu’s third studio album — a 14-track project that stands as his most experimental and politically charged work to date. Released on 15 May 2026 via Ourness and preceded by the singles “PIRATE RADIO\,” “DEATH CULT ZOMBIE\,” “STAMPEDE\,” and “LIFE KEEPS GOING\,” the record features guest appearances from Duckwrth and Ladyhawke\, and has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Pitchfork praised the way Owusu “folds together post-industrial dissonance\, globe-trotting influences\, and stinging social commentary\,” positioning him as “a unifying node in a post-everything landscape.” \n  \nThe album unfolds as an eclectic musical journey\, where Neo-Soul feeds into Alt Pop\, Synth Punk into Funk\, and genre borders dissolve into a vibrant\, layered soundscape. It captures moments of collective ecstasy and desolation\, resistance and joy\, dance and reflection\, while Owusu channels his sharpened lyricism into a reflection of the world’s unrest. \nWritten from a sense of necessity\, the album is a piercing commentary on the political\, social\, and economic turmoil of contemporary society. Owusu ruminates on institutional corruption\, the rise of extremism\, and the fractures of modern life\, while also calling for unity and brotherhood. The opening track\, “PIRATE RADIO\,” sets the tone with its frantic instrumentation and unflinching honesty\, followed by songs such as “STAMPEDE\,” “BLESSED ARE THE MEEK\,” and “THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE\,” which tackle far-right politics\, genocide\, and media manipulation. Amid the urgency\, Owusu also finds space for introspection — “HELLSTAR” and “RUNNIN OUTTA TIME” explore love and joy as acts of resistance\, while the album’s more personal moments examine apathy and the loss of empathy in a crumbling world. \nRecorded in South Wales with executive producer Dann Hume\, the album emerged from free-flowing\, unbounded sessions where no sound or genre was off limits. The result is a kaleidoscopic record that draws on influences from Deep Funk\, Neo Soul\, Brit Rock\, and Alt Pop\, fusing them into a powerful\, cohesive statement. At its core\, REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE is a rallying cry and an act of hope — a fearless reflection of the times that urges resistance\, unity\, and love amid global chaos.

SUMMARY:Really Good Time
DESCRIPTION:REALLY GOOD TIME ANNOUNCES IRISH NATIONAL TOUR FOR DECEMBER 2026  \nSaturday\, 5 Button Factory – Dublin  \nTheir debut album ‘Affirmations’ – OUT THIS FRIDAY \n“Their Queens Of The Stone Age motorik meets Pixies’ cold finesse comes topped by vocals alternately whingeing\, deadpan\, agonised and spoken\, with arch and withering observation from the Alex Turner songbook.”  – **** MOJO Magazine  \n\n+++ \n\nReally Good Time are a three-piece rock band from Dublin\, who sound like Vertigo-era U2 \ncovering Viagra Boys. Over the last four years they’ve gone door to door at home and abroad\, \nsewing the seeds of chaos with a relentless\, ear-immolating live show. Having captured this \nenergy on debut album ‘Affirmations’ – they’ll be bringing the record on the road for their most \nextensive tour to date in Autumn 2026\, before bringing it all home to celebrate the album and \nthe year with a run of Irish shows in early December. \n\nTheir debut album ‘Affirmations’ is a 40-something minute panic attack\, lurching from existential \ndread to petty anxiety in moments\, while ultimately seeking to remember that the world outside \n\nthe self is still there\, close enough to touch. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll buy several tickets.

SUMMARY:Aaron Rowe
DESCRIPTION:When you watch Aaron Rowe on stage\, he anchors himself behind the mic\, broad shouldered and wide eyed whilst telling stories. Song histories\, personal anecdotes or just random thoughts and funny observations are blurted out with erratic but effortless charm. His smile is so sunny and wide it feels permanent and his laugh is hoarse\, warm and totally infectious. When he speaks his eyes glisten\, but when he sings\, they close as his head lulls onto his shoulder and tilts back. For Aaron\, singing and playing guitar is not a choice\, it’s an extension of himself – he has to do it. You can tell as soon as he begins it offers him not only freedom\, but focus. \nWhen he first started playing music as a teenager\, Aaron tried to keep it a secret. “Where I’m from\, you can’t show people you’re soft\, so playing music and singing was just off the cards.” However\, it got tricky once he started walking around the area with a guitar strapped to his back. One day he was finally pulled over by “a few of the lads\, they asked me ‘you playing music then\, Aaron? Play us a song;” And when he humbly refused? “Play us a fucking song”. Reluctantly\, he sang to them\, sitting on a brick wall behind those tightly closed eyes. When he opened them\, instead of laughter he was met with acceptance. “All they said was\, ‘That was class\,’ It was a really nice moment for me\, and after that exact day I was like fuck this\, this is what I want to do\, and this is what I’m going to do for the rest of my life”. He decided then and there that he was going to be a musician. \nSo far\, the story of Aaron Rowe looks like what fate feels like: paths crossing and stars aligning. Almost exactly a year ago\, Aaron was singing covers at his regular Saturday gig in The Dame Tavern when one of his future managers would walk in and discover him playing. A few weeks later\, Lewis Capaldi would also stumble into Aaron’s usual Sunday sessions at Cassidy’s on a stag do. Like fate\, a few weeks after that\, he would bump into Lewis again whilst performing at an open mic in Nashville\, where Lewis introduced him to his best friend\, now Aaron’s manager\, who just so happened to have listened to his demos that very morning. Far from an overnight success\, after nearly thirteen years of gigging five days a week\, his moment finally came. Call it fate\, call it what you will\, a good story is the least you can expect from a generational voice like Aaron. His own life experiences leading up to this moment means there is an unmatched maturity and vulnerability to Aaron’s songwriting\, Somehow\, he can balance the heart wrenching with the heartwarming\, all the while holding open the door to us into his very personal world.

SUMMARY:Alborosie
DESCRIPTION:ALBOROSIE – NINE MILE UK TOUR  \nThe most Jamaican of the Sicilians  \nWith over 100 million streams and more than 10 million monthly listeners across all platforms in 2024\, Alborosie is undoubtedly the international reggae benchmark! Two years after the release of his album Destiny\, Pupa Albo is back this year with a new opus. \nAlborosie has built up a solid reputation with over 1\,000 concerts across the globe. After a major world tour in 2025\, he’s back on the road to support the release of his new album and to offer his fans some exceptional live moments where new singles will rub shoulders with must-have tracks from his vast musical catalogue. \nReal name Alberto D’Ascola\, this Sicilian with giant dreadlocks left his native land to reach Jamaica and fully embrace this culture that he feels. Living on this island for over 20 years\, Alborosie is an ultra prolific artist who has been shaking up the roots reggae world since 1993. Roots\, rub-a-dub\, raggamuffin\, dancehall and dub are all part of the authentic reggae expression and no one embraces these styles with such reverence\, joy and vibrancy than Alborosie. \nWith a discography including cult albums like “Soul Pirate”\, and flagship tracks from its beginnings\, like “Kingston Town” or “Herbalist”\, true anthems of several generations\, Alborosie has become one of the most listened international reggae artists in the world. \nAlborosie is committed to authentic reggae\, to honoring and preserving its heritage. He notably collaborates with many of today’s leading artists like Ky-Mani Marley\, Joe Mersa Marley\, Collie Buddz\, Roots Radics\, The Wailers United\, King Jammy… and also produces music for several Jamaican stars\, including the recent Wailing Souls album “Back A Yard”. These works are a testament to his study of the origins of reggae\, and his contribution to its future. \nAlborosie\, who in 2011 made history as the first white artist to win the M.O.B.O (Music of Black Origin) Awards in the Best Reggae Act category\, gained stature and purpose. As an artist and producer\, and as a voice for change. Along with the recording of his latest opus\, in December 2020 Alborosie recorded and released “Shadows After Dark”\, teaming up with Christopher Martin\, Etana\, Romain Virgo\, Morgan Heritage and many others to raise awareness of the perils of Human Trafficking in Jamaica. \nThis globetrotter has cut his teeth on tour and has been defending his culture on stages around the world for over 15 years. From his beginnings he took care to be accompanied by exceptional musicians who today constitute the “Clan Shengen”. On stage\, his vocal mastery allows him to simultaneously sweep all the styles that make up reggae\, to toasting his greatest hits as well as fetching notes worthy of opera. His almost limitless vocal abilities make his performances unique and his shows are acclaimed and acclaimed by an eclectic and multigenerational audience. \n“Destiny”\, released on May 26th 2023 (Greensleeves Records / VP Records / Shengen Entertainment)\, boasts an impressive list of collaborators with featured guest performances from such luminaries as Kabaka Pyramid\, Buju Banton\, Jaz Elise and Burro Banton to name but a few. In 2024\, he released his latest album\, “Dub Pirate\,” his seventh adventure into dub music. Alborosie showcases his production talents by remixing twelve emblematic songs from “Soul Pirate.”

SUMMARY:LEAP @ The Grand Social
DESCRIPTION:The LEAP story is one of redemption\, salvation\, and remarkably fine margins. A rollercoaster ride through major label sugar-pills and Hollywood dreams\, and back from the brink of despair through some of the darkest extremes that life can conjure. From the padded walls of Balcarres Hospital’s psychiatric ward\, to family suicide\, LEAP have somehow come out the other side into a beautiful world of communal rock and roll therapy. \nAfter signing to Capitol and Sony Records with his previous project\, lead-singer Jack Scott got a taste of the limelight\, both sweet and sour. The false highs of an unsustainable platform soon gave way to unbearable lows\, and living with bi-polar disorder\, Jacky descended into an extended manic episode. Following countless run-ins with the police and ambulance services\, Jacky was eventually sectioned in a psychiatric institution. Sedated and incarcerated for months\, he was later released to the news that his project had been dropped by all labels\, management and publisher. Empty months of deep depression followed\, before his father committed suicide in Edinburgh\, plunging Jacky further into unimaginable depths of mental trauma. \nIt is in the midst of this existential black hole that the LEAP seed starts growing. One of the most electrifying\, natural-born entertainers in music\, Jacky was never going to do anything else. He owns it with refreshing clarity: ‘Oh I’d be completely numb without LEAP. Or dead. One of the two. I know that for a fact.’ \nThe name had come from his father. Don’t flinch. Whatever it is\, face it head on. LEAP. And so Jacky started writing. Drowning out the incessant mental abuse with poignant lyrics over anthemic instrumentals\, it was all he could do to stay sane. As this cathartic process continued\, Jacky recruited his 2 closest friends on rhythm section. \nBorn days apart in the same hospital\, Hector Cottam on drums has been Jacky’s best friend since they were infants. A bisexual Buddhist\, Heccy has been at Jack’s side through all the hurt\, and he adds a welcome sense of stability to Jacky’s volatility. Trained at The Drummer’s Collective in NYC\, Heccy is a human metronome who idolises rock giants like QOTSA and Jack White. \nOn bass\, from Johannesburg\, South Africa\, the life of every party\, Mr Declan Brown. A man so deeply consumed by the sheer enjoyment of performing that he regularly forgets to play his parts. Too busy cackling with someone in the front row\, Deccy is the class clown and one of the warmest\, purest souls you’ll ever meet. \nThe final piece of the puzzle\, landing straight from Zelda’s Hyrule\, Adam ‘The Pixie’ Mason on lead guitar. Initially recruited through friends of friends\, his impact was instant. And not just on the musical side. Baby Mason fit like a pocket-sized glove into the LEAP equation\, and he immediately quit the other 5 bands he was session-ing with at the time.

SUMMARY:Keg
DESCRIPTION:Keg have been experimenting with their sound ever since their conception. Over the 6 years as a band they have garnered attention for their frenetic live performances and unwavering commitment to not settling on one sound. Their new album ‘Relaxing Near the Hospital’ only further cements this ideology. At once tender and vitriolic the album is full of contradiction\, each song taking a sojourn into their myriad of influences. From hefty chunks of hardcore\, to Steely Dan leaning croonerish tracks the album is reminiscent of Ween in its commitment to an noncommittal sound. What feels new is a level of vulnerability which has often been hinted at in previous releases\, but here feels fully established. \nThe band have released two critically acclaimed EPs ‘Assembly’ (2021) and ‘Girders’ (2022)\, garnering attention from Loud and Quiet\, NME\, Dork\, So Young and support from BBC radio 6 and Radio X. DIY are real champions of the band\, awarding them a slot in their prestigious Class of 2023. Their debut album ‘Fun’s Over’ charted in the top 75 in the overall album charts\, 10 in Record store charts and in the top 25 in Independent Album charts\, received several 4/5 and 8/10 reviews including “Marks the beginnings of a group aiming for the big leagues” – Sound of Violence ★★★★ \nIt is the live arena\, where KEG is understood best\, they’ve earnt their stripes at Greenman (Big Top)\, Latitude (Sunrise Arena)\, Sur Le Sac (CH)\, Sacred Ground (DE)\, End of The Road (Big Top)\, Dour Festival (BE)\, Vida Festival (ES) and built a loyal following of fans across the UK and Europe.

SUMMARY:Duke Special
DESCRIPTION:Duke Special’s Songs from the Deep Forest returns for its 20th anniversary not just as a nostalgic revisit\, but as a quiet triumph of enduring artistry. What stands out most is how confidently the album still holds its identity—unapologetically whimsical\, tender\, and rich with imagination. \n  \nDuke Special’s songwriting feels even more special in hindsight. His ability to weave poetic storytelling with memorable\, piano-driven melodies gives the album a warmth that few records manage to sustain over time. His voice—distinctive\, expressive\, and full of character—draws you in completely\, making every lyric feel personal. \nRather than feeling dated\, the album’s understated arrangements now read as intentional and timeless. There’s a bravery in its softness\, a refusal to chase trends\, and that’s exactly why it resonates so deeply two decades later. This anniversary edition is less a reminder of the past and more a celebration of an artist whose vision has always been quietly extraordinary.

DESCRIPTION:The release of ‘Razorlight’ went 5 times platinum\, topping the UK album charts\, landing them a UK Number 1 single\, and catapulting the four-piece\, fronted by Johnny Borrell\, into the mainstream. \nThe tour begins with a run of European dates from October 22 before heading to the UK on November 26 in Glasgow. The band then plays Newcastle\, Wolverhampton\, Leeds\, Nottingham\, Manchester\, London\, Bristol and Belfast\, before concluding in Dublin on December 14. Tickets are on general sale from Friday June 19 at 9AM\, with pre-sales on Wednesday June 17 at 9AM. Tickets and further detail available at www.razorlightofficial.com \nSupport comes from London punk-inspired brother and sister duo The Molotovs\, fresh from a UK No. 3 album and a run of blistering shows across the country. The December 4 date at OVO Arena Wembley will be a celebration of British guitar music\, with The K’s joining to complete a standout three-band bill. The K’s will also support on the European run. \nThe tour will see Razorlight’s four classic members perform the album in full\, including defining classics In The Morning\, Before I Fall To Pieces\, and I Can’t Stop This Feeling I’ve Got\, alongside deep cuts like Hold On\, Who Needs Love\, and Kirby’s House. \nReflecting on the period of time when Razorlight was written\, Borrell remembers\, “The album itself started to sound like a greatest hits. That’s when you know you’re alright.”. \nHe added\, “Me and Andy fell into this groove of writing\, just this amazing musical connection. When you do that\, it’s like falling in love;  it’s just this sort of mutual intoxication and we just couldn’t stop writing.” \nFollowing the success of Razorlight\, the band maintained their momentum with the platinum-selling Slipway Fires\, which produced the No. 3 hit single in Germany and Austria\, Wire to Wire. \nThe band’s last run on the road saw the classic lineup reunite for a triumphant tour in support of their best-of compilation\, Razorwhat? The Best of Razorlight. The shows marked a period of reconciliation and renewed momentum\, with the group rebuilding bridges and reconnecting on stage. In particular\, Borrell and co-songwriter and drummer Andy Burrows reestablished their creative partnership\, reviving a relationship that had been both artistically fruitful and\, at times\, tumultuous. \nRazorlight was released in 2006. In the years since\, the band has connected with a new generation of fans\, averaging more than 1.6 million monthly Spotify listeners. Their achievements include a UK No. 1 album\, a Number 1 single\, three UK Top 5 albums\, two multi-platinum albums\, and eight UK Top 20 singles.

SUMMARY:Mammoth
DESCRIPTION:Grammy Award-nominated songwriter\, vocalist\, multi-instrumentalist\, and producer Wolfgang Van Halen continues to separate Mammoth from the pack. The music stands alone on a foundation anchored by his impressive sonic proficiency(across drums\, bass\, keys\, and guitar)and airtight arena-size hooks with unforgettable vocals. He harbors an irresistible signature sound\, inventive vision\, and incomparable identity vaunted by a fervent global fanbase. For as unique as the music is\, his story so far proves to be just as unprecedented. This is arguably the first hard rock act to genuinely break out from ground zero in the 2020’s\, generating north of 100 million streams\, toppling charts\, and selling out headline tours less than five years since its debut. Back in 2021\, Mammoth’s first offering\, Mammoth WVH\, took flight\, bowing at #12 on the Billboard 200 and capturing #1 on three Billboard charts—Top Hard Rock Albums\, Top Independent Albums\, and Top Rock Albums. “Distance” soared as the first of two #1 Rock Radio Hits and earned a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Rock Song.” Two years later\, Mammoth II only saw him pick up the pace. It debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart in addition to bringing him back to #1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart. It incited widespread applause from Rolling Stone\, Guitar World\, Grammy.com\, Classic Rock\, American Songwriter\, and KERRANG! The band canvased the globe with Metallica and Pantera and supported Foo Fighters in North America as well as filling houses on their own. They performed on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!\, at MusiCares 2024 gala in honor of Jon Bon Jovi\, and Wolf took the stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction of Ozzy Osbourne. Now\, Wolfgang pushes forward on Mammoth’s third full-length solo LP\, The End.

SUMMARY:Big Sleep
DESCRIPTION:Big Sleep are a Dublin-based rock band making their name the old-fashioned way; through tireless gigging and a shared passion for live performance. From underground tunnel shows beneath the M50 to sold-out European tours\, their journey is one of instinct\, connection\, and constant evolution. Formed by lead vocalist Rónán Connolly and Italian drummer Matteo Poli\, the band later solidified with bassist Aidan Gray and guitarist Naiara Clarke LaFuente\, who joined after a chance encounter involving an illegal rave\, a forest\, and a homemade stage. Their debut album ‘Holy Show’ is a conceptually rich and emotionally vulnerable collection that explores love\, loss\, and identity. In Ireland\, a “holy show” refers to a messy situation\, and each of the album’s ten tracks delves into its own emotional chaos. \n  \n
