Tipperary's favourite alt-folk rockers BogBodies release their second single, 'This Reality' on 1st August 2020. Sonically, the world music infused, alt-folk track lays somewhere in-between Queens of the Stone Age and The Pouges.   It is accompanied by a music video, shot entirely underground in an ancient cave system....with Fire dancers! Songwriter and Guitarist Dan Maher explains:
'The track definitely has a world-music feel to it, but in a very rural Irish way, we've taken to calling it BogRock.   Lyrically, the song is about choices, and how we, as people, choose to perceive and interact with the world around us. It comes from a place of polarities and details the transformative journey we each go through toward the higher self.'
On the music video Maher notes:
'We came up with the concept for the video based on the ancient myth of Odysseus's journey to the underworld. It was very bare bones in its inception, we simply brought the right people together in the cave, we had no lighting, only natural fire, no script or storyboard only improvised performance, one handheld camera and a heap of good luck! We shot it in a single evening on a shoestring budget. The video is very much a collaborative effort between musicians, videographers and fire performers!' 
After releasing their debut single 'Blowing Out' in summer 2019, and playing blistering live sets at Vantastival and Whelans,  Bogbodies were set to perform at this year's Electric Picnic, Doolin Folk Festival, Uisneach Fire Festival as well as an Irish tour before Covid cancelled everything.  Since lockdown, they've been working hard on the debut album 'Reclaim the Ritual' which is due for release this October.
