Take some good-time revolutionary spirit, add a pinch of psychedelic flavour, simmer it down with some Indie Soul and you are somewhere close to the cosmic vibe of The Hot Sprockets, five blood brothers from Dublin City, drawn together by their mutual love of Rock 'n' Roll.

Performing live, the Sprockets' take-no-prisoners, white hot, bone-breaking approach has lit a fire in men and women of all tastes and flavours, captivating audiences with numerous successful tours across the USA, Canada, UK, and Europe.

Their inherent ability to get the party started wherever they go has led them to take stage at festivals such as Glastonbury (UK), Latitude (UK), Kansas City Irish Fest (USA), Eurosonic (NL), Zwarte Cross (NL), Ebrovision (ES), Fuzion (DE), Indie-Week Toronto (CAN), Electric Picnic (IRL) and countless others around the globe.

Volkswagen, Heineken, AIB (Allied Irish Banks), Bulmers (aka Magners), and Today FM are among some of the companies which have used their songs for major ad campaigns, both in Ireland and further abroad.  They have also been featured on National TV countless times here in Ireland and have graced TV stations in the USA, Europe, UK, and Australia.

With two critically acclaimed albums under their belt, Honeyskippin’, and Brother Nature – the second of which shot straight into the top 10 of the National Irish Charts – the Sprockets are gearing up towards the release of their third album “Dream Mover”, due out on April 6th 2018.

Sonically, this album marks a huge leap forward for these independent rockers!  Produced and recorded by Dave “Skip” Christophers, and mixed by Charlie Russell (Jamiroquai, Kasabian, The Strypes), listeners can expect to hear an earthier soulful psychedelic side to the Sprockets.

Having already unleashed “Right Spots” – the first single off their eagerly awaited third album – and with two more singles and corresponding videos on the horizon, anticipation grows, as Dream Mover is due to have audiences revelling in the classic hooks and sounds the Sprockets are cherished for.

New Secret Weapon somehow magically formed on a make-shift stage in the campsite for KnockanStockan 2007. After several months of faffing about with their soon to be former bands they realised they couldn’t do without the intensity of the music that was created that magical night in Wicklow. They then embarked on a full scale assault on the Dublin music scene amassing a tally of hundreds of live shows. 

Never easily pigeonholed, New Secret Weapon’s  sound is as unique as it is intense. Punk/rock/prog/pop/psychedelia; Devoid of all gimmicks their music is written and performed with an honesty and integrity  that lend this album an importance not much seen anymore. Their Debut Album is no mere throw away, this is a life changer.
