Youves are a macho dance punk quintet from small-town Nuneaton, UK. As if spitting in the face of their parochial backwater origins, their sound is a wide ranging spastic hybrid of post-punk, indie and hardcore spirit, alive with the fearless folly of youth. Lean, aggressive and kinetic, they’re a five-headed beast with a razor sharp sonic focus and steel eyed vision.

Having released (under their previous alias, Mirror Mirror ) a split 7” with Rolo Tomassi, a limited edition tape and a solo debut single in the past year Youves  are vocal proponents of the independent spirit; like Black Flag being produced by James Murphy, but without the steroids and militant dogma. They’re an efficient machine, well flexed, high on beer and protein, poised to steal hearts, minds and girlfriends. Their debut album, Cardio Vascular, released on Holy Roar Records, is finally here!

The Funeral Suits

Funeral Suits are 3 young men, 2 from Dublin and 1 from Limerick. Since the release of their debut E.P. ‘Oh Dear’ in July 2008, Funeral Suits have pushed onwards and upwards, growing to be bolder and more confident both in writing and live shows as the months have passed.

So far this year, the band have played 3 dates with Franz Ferdinand on the Irish leg their world tour, supported The Breeders in Vicar Street as well as Atlanta’s Manchester Orchestra and Local Natives, racking up a host of well-received headliners in between.
