Choosing Irish music acts for imminent success — be that mainstream, semi-crossover, broad cultdom, or whatever else it might mean to the artist which we believe is simply having the good fortune to continue being able to make music — is a thankless task. Some are new-ish, some have been around for a while but are now presenting themselves in a fresher light, and some have only just popped their heads over the parapet in the past year. All music styles are represented — from electronica to hip-hop, from pop to noise, from old-fashioned songwriters to new-fangled vibe merchants. Do the right thing.

Thankfully, a debut album is on its way, as Bitch Falcon spent the end of April and early May holed up in a studio in County Wicklow to craft their first LP.
Hot off the presses, the second album from this Dublin band plays to the strengths of indie rock past and present. There is a potent s sensibility to the music, which points to indie anthems to shake a fist to. Lyrically always a strong point with the band , a display of vulnerability only intensifies the overall impact of the songs. Jafaris: Stride DFL. In which Irish rap takes a step closer to crossover? Perhaps, perhaps not, but what it is certain is that we have yet another contender here. Coming out of Dublin-based hip-hop production centre Diffusion Lab, Jafaris presents a spiritualised viewpoint while never losing sight or sound of the music.
