Dublin Band Jam Hades will be releasing their debut album 'The edge of regret' on Friday, the 24th of Feb 2023. With oodles of killer and not so much filler, these sonic plasterers will be ripping it up (and attempting a rapid rebuild) on a stage near you soon . The album launch will include an all ages show, so unlock your kids and prepare them for their first cushioned mosh pit!

"This is the sort of misery that I love" - BBC Radio 1

"Bursts of melody twist and turn within the piece, with Joel Harkin patching his indie confessionals to pop lucidity." - Clash Magazine

"The track finds the Belfast-based singer-songwriter ruminating on family life and inequality, while he brings his lo-fi alternative folk sound to emotional new heights." - Hot Press Magazine

"The Donegal singer-songwriter’s craft brims at every turn with pathos and pure insight, and is rounded off with a melodic sensibility all his very own." - The Thin Air

Joel Harkin calls himself an alternative, ambient folk singer. He writes songs about cherry blossoms and old churches, about lost friends and migrations and a fear of dying. He is a humourist, a poet and philosopher.

He’s been influenced by Modest Mouse, Phoebe Bridgers, Conor Oberst, Gregory and the Hawk and many others. He is glad that he didn’t follow his father’s advice and become a horse doctor. His ambition is happily unchecked.
