The Lie Ins:
"Lie Ins are a literate, acoustic indie duo who like to explore punk, anti-folk, rock 'n roll and indie pop. Featuring only drums and acoustic guitar, their political fervour and heartfelt balladry have beguiled and bewildered Irish audiences in equal measure at their high-octane, sometimes shockingly angry gigs. A founder band of the Popical Island collective, Lie Ins are currently recording their debut album".
The Prairie Dawgs:
"The Prairie Dawgs play a roots music that mixes influences from both sides of the Atlantic. If someone sat down to plan a band that would be equal parts Pete Doherty and The Carter Family they’d be laughed at. But this nine-piece outfit add a contemporary sensibility to a downhome tradition that makes their debut album a winning proposition."
