In Case Of Fire
In Case of Fire are Northern Irish rock royalty. They have been through a lot as a band and in a career spanning over 15 years, have toured with Muse and Queens of The Stone Age, released a critically acclaimed album in ‘Align the Planets’ and won the KERRANG Best New Band Award.
After a lengthy hiatus, In Case Of Fire (Steve Robinson, Colin Robinson and Adam Booth) are back. The band released their first single in over ten years earlier in 2024, the emphatic ‘Prisoner’ and are hard at work in the studio preparing new material for their eager fanbase.
Lord Jane
Lord Jane is a five-piece alt-rock band hailing from across Northern Ireland. Formed in 2022, they blend influences from Radiohead, Wolf Alice, and Paramore to create a unique sound that resonates deeply with their audience.
Known for their emotional intensity and dynamic live performances, the band comprises Sam Foote (Guitar), Dylan Norton (Drums), Carl Small (Bass), Aidan Reynolds (Guitar), and Clodágh May (Vocals).
VERA
VERA blends a modern Indie sound with elements of groove and soul, retro pop, and rock all underpinned by the raw and powerful vocal of Sarah Toner.
Filled with style, drama and a healthy dose of sarcasm, Sarah’s lyrics cover every possible pitfall of modern love presenting a refreshingly cynical version of being a hopeless romantic.
Franklin
Franklin is a five piece alternative band from Belfast and beyond. They blend a mix of styles stemming from their different individual influences. From metal to disco with hints of jazz inspired sounds, under the guise of alternative rock.
