Taste

More than one artist shares this name. 1) Taste was formed in Cork, Ireland in August 1966 as a trio consisting of Rory Gallagher on guitars & vocals, Eric Kitteringham on bass, and Norman Damery on drums. In their early years Taste played around the UK before becoming regulars at Maritine Hotel, an R&B club in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In 1968 the original lineup split. The new lineup formed with Richard McCracken on bass and John Wilson on drums.

Marc O'Reilly

My Friend Marx is the debut album from the freshest Irish voice of 2011. Marc O’Reilly’s roots may lie in Waterford and France, but his sound rests somewhere between the American-influenced folk blues of Peter Green and contemporaries such as Ray LaMontagne and Gomez. Following stints in different alt/rock bands, Marc began to make his mark in 2010 as a solo performer, playing at last summer’s Electric Picnic festival and supporting fellow Irish songwriters including David Kitt.

Maria Byrne

Maria is an Irish singer-songwriter, originally from Cork and based for the last few years in London. She has turned her hand to a range of occupations over the years including a year-long stint welding hairline cracks in Rolls Royce Jet Engines. Discovering that she was much happier singing and writing songs based on conversations she heard on buses, she taught herself to play guitar and took off to London in search of opportunity and a decent cup of tea. Since then she has played all over the capital and is releasing her debut EP 'Jack' in April 2009.

20 Bulls Each

Storming from the land of luck, 20 BULLS EACH have been building their following throughout their hometown of Dublin, Ireland and all of Europe for almost a decade. The band started with no allegiance to any particular style of music and instead opted to start playing and see where they ended up. Fusing influence from punk, hardcore, metal and Oi, 20 BULLS EACH have crafted their own style of melodic hardcore after years of touring and recording.

Stereo War Favourites

Based in Belfast, Stereo War Favourites are an embryonic six-piece hailing from the Mid-Ulster and Derry City areas. Formed in Summer 2008 and compromising of former members of Coda, The Remains Of Youth, Angelfall, Shiro, Assassinate The Itch and The October Connection, the six-piece have spent the guts of a year writing and recording with a view to hitting the ground running in Summer 09. A colourful bunch, they are steadfastly developing a dangerous swagger and unshakeable belief that what they have to offer is good.
