We’re a fresh website started out of passion for live music. Our goal is to become the most reliable source of information about the gigs and festivals around Dublin, to provide quality photos and reviews from the concerts we attend and interesting news about the music industry in Ireland.

We aim to champion bands and record labels that we are passionate about and are overlooked and undervalued by the mainstream media machine, while still paying homage to the iconic bands and labels who laid and developed the groundwork for today’s emerging talent. Whether it is post punk, shoegaze, sludge metal, noise rock, or anything in between, we want to bring these alternative music genres to the fore.
