New Tracks Weekend, April 12-14, 2024

You'd think a new group of fresh sounds on the week following a Bandcamp Friday would be no major challenge. To be honest, we got swamped with new material this week, so much so the total exceeded last week's haul, with over 100 new tracks to be sorted and weighted.

Virgins – Transmit a Little Heaven EP

Back in August last year, Ireland's Virgins burst into our consciousness with their epic debut single ‘Vows’. It was an instant hit with me, the perfect blend of dreamy rock and head-on gaze. The band is formed around the main man Michael Smyth with David Sloan on guitar, James Foy on drums, Rebecca Dow on vocals and Brendy McCann of Hand Models on bass. Since the release of ‘Vows’, the […]
