...........

HamsandwicH are renowned for their incendiary live performances. They have sold out Dublin’s prestigious Olympia Theatre twice, supported Arcade Fire and The Pixies, played on the main stage at the Electric Picnic Festival, performed at the legendary Slane Castle, and been personally invited by Mumford & Sons to support them in Phoenix Park, and played at the President of Ireland’s Garden Party.

2015 was a pivotal year for HamsandwicH, the Dublin-based band from Kells. Their 3rd album ‘Stories From The Surface’ was released in their native Ireland and it debuted straight in at the number 1 spot in the official Album chart.

Fast forward to January 2016 and ‘Stories From The Surface’ has just been shortlisted for the Choice Music Prize Album of the Year Award. The Choice Music Prize Award ceremony, Ireland’s answer to the UK’s Mercury Prize, will take place in Dublin’s Vicar Street Venue on March 3rd, 2016. http:// choicemusicprize.ie/

And now, on May 26th 2016, ‘Stories From The Surface’ will finally be released in the UK for the first time. The follow-up to their 2010 record ‘White Fox’, which featured in Irish Times’ writer Tony Clayton-Lea’s acclaimed book ‘101 Irish Records You Must Hear Before You Die’, the album sees HamsandwicH demonstrate complete mastery of the indie-pop genre. Melodic, hook-laden, and heart-warmingly charming, the bands signature dual vocals - Niamh Farrell's powerful yet sweet vocal and Podge McNamee's juxtaposing baritone – carry you on a journey from brooding opener ‘Hold Me Up’ through to the gloriously poignant closing track ‘All Worthwhile’, via radio anthem ‘Illuminate’ and lead UK single ‘Apollo’.

Still waters run deep… Although love hides its face away from the gaze of a loveless world it nevertheless sprays, like urban graffiti, colourful designs on the flesh of the human hear. Secret tattoo celebrates this mysterious activity.

This is a completely new song all done by Me....

Bill-Wrong Way

Tapie dans l’ombre, la bête gronde.
Ignorant les convenances, surgit sans prévenir.

Elle donne à mon courroux l’occasion idéale
d’ôter les garde-fous des pulsions animales.

Affuble mon quotidien d’une atmosphère suffocante,
elle fissure mes entrailles, pervertit ma raison.

Signalant sa présence d’une douleur lancinante,
étouffe ma volonté, elle est mon addiction.


Tapie dans l'ombre
