NO MANAGEMENT | NO LABEL | NO F*#KS GIVEN

Microlip is a self-driven, self-maintained, self-funded and self-managed band hailing from Northern Ireland. Formed in 2008 the band got off to a flying start with their first single Man of Steel becoming play-listed on major radio stations across the UK and Ireland. Massive support slots followed from this success, seeing the band share stages with acts such as Ed Sheeran, The Script, JLS and The Coronas.

“Back then the dream of a record deal was the goal but somewhere along the line, we lost track of what was important… THE MUSIC. We now aim to make music without having to box it into a certain genre or follow archaic models of how a song should be put together. Our creativity will no longer be curbed by conformity, only by our imaginations”- Neil Guy, Microlip keyboardist. 

Over the last few months, the 5 lads from Portadown, whilst juggling family commitments, have been working to create a new catalogue of music and will be unleashing the first of this new catalogue on 29th May 2021. Each new song brings a new perspective, with the band's sound evolving and morphing to suit each new idea. Hard-hitting lyrics, raunchy guitars, and piercing synths quickly become a soft piano ballad or even a new-age 80’s love song.
Microlip has decided to share future releases with you THE PEOPLE, FOR FREE! The band will be releasing all their new material via their website www.microlipband.com and their social media sites. If you like a single, you can download it, for free! There will be an option to donate if you feel you can and would like to support the band. All donations received will enable us to keep 'er lit! No middlemen, no more; just the band and their fans.

Sentinel is an Indie-dream-pop duo originating from San Francisco, California, now based in San Diego. The seeds of this sunny-seaside-dream-pop began between Tarabud (vocals/bass) and Dennis Bestafka (guitars) on a four track recorder in 2000. Their live performances have been numerable over the years, with the support of friends on drums and keyboards for their live performances. They have been heard on FM Radio: (Live105.3FM), (Nic Harcourt's syndicated program 'Connections Made by Guitar Center' broadcast nationally on FM stations in the USA) & (College radio in 160 stations across US and Canada), Local TV, and Live Music venues of the Northern California. 

Sentinel's sound is strongly influenced of their mutual visions of 80's synth and 90's dream pop. Bands  like Cocteau Twins, Smiths, U2, My Bloody Valentine, Cure, Flock Of Seagulls. Dead Can Dance, and Ocean Blue have provided consistent inspiration, creating a long catalog of moods & textures to draw from while developing their sound. 

Over the years their catalog has been expansive with variety. The following five albums and several singles were self-released: Sentinel (self titled) - 2004; The Singles - 2005; Sequels & Hunches E.P. - 2007; Kites Without Strings - 2008; For Days Deep & single video- 2010; Jet Black Single & video - 2010; Dark End Single- 2011; Somewhere Else Single ~ video & dance remix - 2012, and new album - Points of Light - 2015, & New E.P. coming in 2018, Life Goals Single, 2020.
