A bit like the kids from Captain Planet, when they come together “they make infectiously catchy songs with a new angle on pop”. Have been making tidal waves on the Irish scene over the past six months, you’ll be hearing a lot more about them over the coming year. Don’t miss them – they’re bleedin’ deadly! Oh! And they’ll be on the next Alpha Relish release with Neosupervital. www.thechalets.com/ Rollers/Sparkers Eclectic and pioneering act, these guys have just released their debut e.p. “Geography for the Leaving” (brought out through the Lazybird label).
