Post Punk Podge & The Technohippies is a figment of punk and the post's collective imagination in the form of a singer/ranter/musician from Limerick, Ireland.  
 
An accomplished violinist, Podge’s goal is to turn the brown envelope from a symbol of corruption, deception and greed into one of self-expression, defiance and laughter. Accompanied by his sidekicks Dr. Asparagus Montague and DJ Jurassic Park 2, they are stirring things up in their native Ireland with their own sound, a blend of punk, electronic, krautrock, techno, irish traditional music, hip hop and classical.

Fresh Pedro Collective are a 3 piece alternative rock band from Nenagh in County Tipperary Ireland.
Formed from the ashes of the "Silverminers" in late 2016 the band consists of Martin Ryan (The Freshman) vocals/lead guitar/drums/programming, Padraig (Pedro) Fahy guitar/vocals, and Philip Loughman on bass. Fresh Pedro released its debut single on February 13th 2018 on its own Freshman Records label free to download on soundcloud. Waste My Time draws heavily on writer Ryan's influences, with hints of Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and other 90's alternative acts shining through. The single was a completely independent release on the bands own Freshman Records.

The second single "Plastic Ego" was released on March 30th with more of an electronica influence apparent. Nine Inch Nails, Filter, Prong, Smashing Pumpkins, Pitchshifter and the prodigy have been favourites of Ryans over the years, with the combination of electronica and rock a keen interest. This single was released internationally and is available on digital platforms only, such as iTunes, Spotify, amazon music etc. Fresh Pedros music is self described as alternative/electronica/industrial rock.
 

With a full setlist of live originals all of which have been performed in Ireland and Europe and received very well, especially at the Horecky fest in Czech republic in 2017.  Fresh Pedros live show is a unique affair with lead vocalist and lead guitarist Martin Ryan performing the drums via a pre recorded or pre programmed backing track, reinforcing the electronica/dance element of their music.
