Tracksuited, denim and leather clad and hidden behind wrap-around sunglasses, the Cork five-piece, Cardinals, look like they’ve just stepped out of Warhol’s factory in Midtown Manhattan rather than the picturesque village of Kinsale, and yet to live in a Cardinals song is to be surrounded by a grainy, monochromatic landscape that holds both a gritty rock and roll nostalgia and the rolling hills of Ireland’s traditional musical past. Their pogues-leaning, shanty-esque verses swoon into room-filling chorus’, and often cloak dark and brooding tales of love in gentle first-person conversational narratives. Their critically acclaimed debut EP Cardinals, is an eclectic gothic amalgam of shoegaze, pop, Irish trad folk, and rock which incorporates 60s Wall of Sound and poetry inflected punk.
For The Orchestra (For Now), music is anything but straightforward. It is panicky but melodic, with builds that dive into hysteria and whispers that launch into screams. Now, as they begin to rise from their London beginnings they feel a fear of stagnancy unlike before. While many see necessity as the mother of invention, this group believes that invention is the mother of necessity. Formed in early 2023, the band itself had not released music yet, but were selected for this year’s Green Man and End of the Road festivals, while building a cult following and an excited buzz with live shows and fan-made bootlegs. Expect a blend of art rock, progressive pop and fortissimo breakdowns – with a string section offering sweet melodies to tug on your cold, dead heart strings.
