Bucket

A project conceived by guitarist/vocalist Cian Dahdouh, bassist Emmett McNamee, and drummer Josh Dorrell, Dublin-based 3 piece Bucket seemingly appeared from nowhere with their debut album in the latter half of 2021; breeding the DIY ethics of garage and punk rock, soon endowing a reputation for their sweaty live shows. Often referred to as the loudest band in Dublin, Bucket aims to test the limits of volume and intensity, delivering a punishing live experience.

"The sense of restraint in the music of My Bloody Valentine and Gilla Band that makes them so compelling, like they're holding back a wave of sound; Bucket makes you feel like you're watching the dam burst two feet in front of you." - Ethan Golding, The Goo.

BBFT

Stuck between a rave and a punk show bbft hail from the fields of Mid-Louth where they searched every townland and folly to make a deal with the fairies to help in their search of a whimsical and monstrous sound.

The Electro-Noise duo blend jungle breaks, euphoric trance and distorted guitars delivering emotion rollercoasting live shows and creating a non-stop dynamic experience to share the love of full audio visual sensory envelopment and dance.

Vaticanjail

Chilean-born, Dublin-based artist producer Vaticanjail invites her audience to enter a world of sonic magical realism through sampling absurdity. Bringing a musical performance that creates a harmonious balance between smooth melodic elements consisting of lush piano and layered vocals, and a groovy rhythmic section of deep bass and drums. Her latest single ‘ANGEL’ welcomes her audience to enter a world of whimsical motion through sonic abstraction, blending alternative electronic, dance, and alt-pop, where playful arrangements play a key role in sculpting a space where listeners can enter a new dimension ruled by magical realism.  Ultimately, her goal is to create a bridge between human emotion, life experiences and artistic expression, and she is currently working on her debut EP to be released this 2025.
