Today sees Dawna  release his highly anticipated new project, The Damhsa EP . We’ve had the chance to live with it for a bit, and here is what we think. First off, 2025 was the year Dawna firmly planted his flag on the Irish music scene. Between national TV spots, a massive Tipperary homecoming in Thurles, and a string of viral social posts, he made himself impossible to ignore. As we get nicely acquainted with 2026, Dawna is building on that momentum with precision. Releas

There are certain songs that quietly step into your life exactly when you need them to. Tipperary folk artist Seánie Bermingham has a gift for creating those exact kinds of moments. His beautiful new track, "Don't Be Worryin' About Me," officially released on February 13th, has already quietly gathered over 16,000 plays. But for me, the story of this song stretches back a little further. I first heard this delicate, traditional track back in 2024 at the When Next We Meet fest

Galway indie-folk outfit Groev have been absolutely everywhere lately. Riding the massive wave of their breakout single "Tara Grove" (which easily smashed 250k streams) and packing out iconic venues like Róisín Dubh and Whelan's (I can confirm the Whelan's gig was incredible), they are easily one of the most exciting acts around right now. Today they’re dropping their highly anticipated new single "Subtle" and let me tell you, you're gonna have to make time in your day to lis

Darren Kiely has just released his new track 'Hidden Away' , a song about "chasing change but also hiding in it". After just a few listens, that theme is immediately recognisable. Darren's schedule has been relentless these last few years, and this track touches on a lot of experiences he's faced over that time. The song starts off with those raspy signature vocals that are unmistakeable Darren Kiely; there is simply not a voice like this in the scene right now. The man could

So....let's have a chat about Moncrieff shall we? If you’ve been following the Waterford man’s socials lately, you’ll know it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. Between the cryptic posts and the eventual spill-the-tea moments about his label drama, it’s fair to say he’s been through the wringer. But if there’s one thing we know about Moncrieff, it’s that he does his best work when his back is against the wall. He’s promised us a new song every month now that he’s back steering

Review: Noah Kahan – The Great Divide We may have been waiting what feels like donkey’s years for this one but its finally here. If you’ve been following Noah Kahan for the last while, you know "The Great Divide" isn’t exactly "new", it’s been a staple in his live sets for nearly two years now. Like half the fandom, I’ve been guilty of rinsing those TikTok snippets and the shaky concert videos on YouTube just to get a fix. But now we finally having the official studio versio

New Year, Same Jamie McIntyre If you thought Jamie McIntyre was slowing down after the massive year he’s just had, think again. Dropping tonight at midnight, his new track "17 Again" is one of his best so far and has all the characteristics of a massive hit. The track kicks in with that distinct twangy folk sound before settling into those incredible signature vocals we’ve all come to love. Jamie sounds better than ever, but he’s also digging deeper than he ever has before. T
