Formed out of Belfast’s fertile underground, Middler fuse the ritualism of dance music with the visceral energy of alternative rock. Their sound is built on contrasts: electronic and organic, fragile and violent, sacred and chaotic. With a reputation for intense live shows and a growing reputation across Ireland’s alternative scene, the band stand at the forefront of a new wave of uncompromising Northern Irish artists.

Psyrin's sound which is reminiscent to that of Ethel Cain, Paramore, and Wolf Alice, has been quickly evolving into a dark, evocative, but also captivatingly immersive concept which has you hooked from start to finish.
Having played one of Ireland's most renowned venues, Whelans, twice this year, alongside shows across the country, you will be hearing Psyrin's infectious melodies parading the back of your mind.

Emerging from Dublin in 2022, post-alternative quartet Politik have laid claim to a myriad of venues across the city.

"Everything is slowed down—like watching a video of a hummingbird flapping its wings in slow motion.  [Octo Puce's] performance hinges on discomfort, both in its lethargic pace and extremely low tones.  Like the spots that emerge from staring at the sun too long, you begin to hear deeper notes and differentiations within the tones themselves and lose yourself in the sound." -Allison Galgiani, Bushwick Daily
