Quiver is the fourth single from her second album, and it is a beautiful love song. With beautiful instrumentation, powerful vocal s and a deep message about the potential of relationships, this song is for people looking for this kind of love. Eimear’s voice carries lots of emotion and takes listeners on a journey. Eimear’s vocals have been compared to Adele, Alison Moyet, Cyndi Lauper and Mary Coughlan.

Introducing Pauric O’Meara, an established independent Pop/Rock artist, where 2020 saw him release his radio popular single,  Techno or Rnb, as well his well received EP – Looking forward to Hindsight, which contained the singles Is This Real?, Wasting Time and Beacon Call, which together gathered over 60 thousand streams on Spotify alone, as well as gaining vast recognition for his cinematic video from Is This Real? and lockdown uplifter Beacon Call.

Wait For You Bio

The song is based around a friend who was in a spiral of making mistakes in a relationship, but always remained confident that things would work out in the end.

This is a theme that can be difficult to discuss in the first person, but when you are not directly involved it becomes easier to see both sides of the story.

The story and the feeling of this song is captured and shown through dreamy pop production and contrasting lyrics, showing both the vulnerability and power of being in love with someone.

Pauric has an upcoming Irish Tour with MCD which will see him play his biggest Irish shows to date in Dublin, Limerick, Galway and Cork as well as making his English Debut with a headliner booked for the summer.

Coming off the back of their hit single ‘Champagne Butterflies’, Wild Youth are back with a fresh new indie pop sound, with ‘Seventeen’.

Having taken time out with family & friends during the pandemic, the guys spent time reflecting on the simplicity of their younger days and are back with this impressive Single.

Co-written by Conor O Donohoe & JC Stewart, and produced By Tristen Evans (The Vamps), Seventeen is the 1^st single to be taken from Wild Youth’s upcoming EP.

‘Seventeen’ sees Wild Youth bring their signature hooky pop sound, that has brought them many hit singles including ‘Can’t Move On’ and ‘Making me Dance’, combined with a fresh new indie pop style.

It’s a reflection of time spent with family & friends, of first loves, first heartbreak, & everything else that comes with being a teen on the verge of adulthood.

Speaking about ‘Seventeen’ Wild Youth said:
“It feels so amazing to be back releasing new music and playing to live audiences and ‘Seventeen’ is the pure nostalgia that we need right now.  It reminds us how it felt to be free to party, to laugh, to back right back at a time when you had no real worries and were optimistic and dreaming about the future.

We can’t wait to be back onstage with crowds of optimistic young dreamers like us, screaming “Take me right back to Seventeen”.”

WILD YOUTH’s Sold Out Spring Tour sees them take in venues across Ireland and the UK including The Academy in Dublin and Omera in London.

They will also play support to Lewis Capaldi for his three sold out Irish shows as well as support Westlife at their hugely anticipated show in Cork’s Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

They will also make headline appearances at Electric Picnic, Indiependence, Boat Yard Festival and more.

Marking Grace Day’s first release of 2022, ‘’Never Lonely With You’ is a conversational, dream-pop exploration of heartbreak and learning to be at peace with it. Heavily inspired by 80s synth-pop ballads as well as modern day pop icons like Taylor Swift, Maggie Roggers and Caroline Polachek, the song is due to be released on March 4th, 2022. 

The song was inspired by a Valentine’s poem Grace found from an old flame. She decided to write a response to the poem in song with the help of a reverb-y electric guitar. She then brought it to producers Frances and David J. Praet, the Nashville-based father and daughter force, who brought it to life with the help of vintage drum machines, hypnotic synths and haunting Enya-like harmonies. 

Grace Day is a singer-songwriter from Donegal, Ireland, now based in Nashville, TN.

Grace made the leap and moved to Nashville, at the end of 2019, where she has been busy harvesting her own music career, writing for other artists and working for the Music distributor TuneCore helping other indie artists on their journey.

Her recent electro pop release ‘Bordeaux’ proved to be her most successful streaming single, and was shared by many blogs and playlists alike. Her most notable recent performance was for TuneCore’s Americana fest held in September 2021.

Pre-save ‘Never Lonely With You’

Molly O’Mahony has spent much of the last decade writing and performing with art-folk group Mongoose. She returned to her home place of West Cork in March of 2020, and against the backdrop of the unfolding pandemic, began work on her first solo collection of songs.

During lockdown, she bounced many ideas off her two musician siblings Matilda & Fiachra and collaborated on arranging a number of covers with them. This period of time and these collaborations greatly informed her own songs, which were recorded over the summer of 2021, and which her siblings played a crucial role in arranging and playing on.

Molly released two of these songs over the latter half of last year, Remember To Be Brave & Brother Blue.

This March, Molly and her siblings will perform material from her forthcoming debut solo album ‘The House of David’ (coming Autumn 2022), as well as some of their lockdown covers, in various venues around the country.
