I'd love to share some Irish music that I'm into right now, there's so many great bands & acts making music that's not in the mainstream. (I did something similar before with @delorentos & used the #BrilliantIrishBands hashtag.)
All songs will be up here: open.spotify.com/user/delorento…

For ease I'll be focusing on bands people might not have heard of or acts on their first album. I'd love you to get involved & share your discoveries or promote a song or your band! Plus I'll try to listen to everything sent this evening! 💚🇮🇪🎼

Please try to give the tracks a listen & discover something you might love! I swear you'll find something great... (there's loads!)

One of my favourite live bands - handsome 2 piece @wecutcorners -this song is a perfect, clever, TUNE. Check this out: open.spotify.com/track/26vskm6S… #BrilliantIrishBands

If I was allowed to join any Irish band I would respectfully ask to join these legends. (they would say no, but I totally understand) This sounds like all the good things about the 90's mixed with happiness. @PillowQueeens open.spotify.com/track/4ngdnHcT… #BrilliantIrishBands

I am so happy that @WyvernLingo exist, are as good as they are, & write songs so good as this. open.spotify.com/track/3nj5ONXJ… #BrilliantIrishBands

I saw @bitchfalcon in a tiny pub 3 years ago and they were spectacular. They have got even better since, which is bordering on too much good.

Mr @daithimusic is consistently creating some of the best & most inventive music Ireland is producing. Check this one out, also featuring Mr @paulisanoonan. (They insist on the Mr.) open.spotify.com/track/6BvbrsC1… #BrilliantIrishBands

You might know this dude, @MIKPYRO, but you might not have yet heard his solo stuff. If you get a chance to read the lyrics to this, well, they're pretty special. :)

These guys have been around for a while, but its starting to kick off now, this song from @SpiesBoys is a belter. Turn it up! (If you're allowed.)

If I could marry a song, I would marry @Soakofficial's B a Nobody. The relationship would be moody, but rewarding. The new stuff is going to be great too... open.spotify.com/track/39aN7XSA… #BrilliantIrishBands

These guys are great live, and are going to be huge. Love Love Love @weareLeBoom - dance!

If you don't know @SorchaRichardsn - treat yo'self, she's the real deal. Lovely melancholy loveliness. open.spotify.com/track/6NVu0gFL… #BrilliantIrishBands

I love @Fangclubband. They sound like a fight in a chipper between angry bears & guitars, if you get me. Plus they're from North County Dublin, so respect. open.spotify.com/track/161dgbbu… #BrilliantIrishBands

I dare you to listen to this song & not like it - @fontainesdublin - So on the nose. open.spotify.com/track/4ycFNMxW… #BrilliantIrishBands

The godfather is @richiejape - the man has a genius in his fingers. Check out the video too, if you get a chance. Murmers of new music coming aswell. open.spotify.com/track/5pHsCrDV… #BrilliantIrishBands

This song is not a new song, but it's one of my favourite ever by an Irish act, and I'd love for you to hear it. It's by @MumblinDeafRo. x open.spotify.com/track/7gyB5jNj… #BrilliantIrishBands

If you don't know @girl_band, have a listen. They might just be what you've been looking for. open.spotify.com/track/4RXKN8Ux… #BrilliantIrishBands

Truly, one of the most interesting and creative bands in Ireland right now - @BleedingHeartPs - so unbelievably good.
open.spotify.com/track/6DzwWbVw… #BrilliantIrishBands

This song stopped me in my tracks when i heard it first - @GavinGlassMusic has always been good, but this is so lovely. open.spotify.com/track/4hJjBgmK… #BrilliantIrishBands

Really like this from @Paddyhanna - his album Frankly I Mutate is great too. Interesting fact - The title is an anagram for "My Kitty Funeral", which is unrelated. open.spotify.com/track/56NZkBzH… #BrilliantIrishBands

I came across @Jenevansmusic at a festival once and was instantly transfixed, this is a brilliant song. Now it's your turn! open.spotify.com/track/4xwjHwmF… #BrilliantIrishBands

If you haven't heard indie oddball geniuses @StoatMusic , you need to acquaint yourself and get up to speed. The new album is all kinds of fun.
open.spotify.com/track/0wyFwYYN… #BrilliantIrishBands

Apologies for the delay, I was actually just enjoying this song and forgot to tweet. @BrassPhantoms may look like soft friendly young people, but they are hard killers with a tune. open.spotify.com/track/7q4PUOzq… #BrilliantIrishBands

The man @kojaque gave us the excellent Deli Daydreams album, and for me, this is the standout - Bubby's cream - check it out. Hip hop with soul and a Dub accent.

A serious man with a serious voice & some serious tunes @DavidKeenanmuso, is one to get lost to. Get in now and then tell everyone you loved him before they did... open.spotify.com/track/6CtJBinE… #BrilliantIrishBands

Ok - I'm conscious of too many tweets here, but I could literally go on for hours, I'm only a third of the way through what I've prepared for yiz. I hope the tunes are doing something for you. Back soon!

Something different, I love this song by singer @olliecole, he was in a band called Turn around 00/02, really good. open.spotify.com/track/2gAKwyQL… #BrilliantIrishBands

I mentioned this song in an "underrated" thread earlier - but holy cheeses, I love it. It's by the excellent @jimmycake from a few years ago. open.spotify.com/track/7jDkOKt2… #BrilliantIrishBands

When I listen to this song I do a weird shoulder dance until the beat kicks in around the chorus, I assume I look excellent. Try it, @SouleOfficial is class.
open.spotify.com/track/7JpGGW4K… #BrilliantIrishBands

hey, @oemperormusic are one of the gems of the underground scene. Listen to the chill vibes on this & try and disagree.
open.spotify.com/track/0snn2rVH… #BrilliantIrishBands

This band are excellent at jumpsuits, colour coordination and sounding like a modern excellent fun kim wilde style goodness. Great song from @whenyoungband: open.spotify.com/track/1oFzdruj… #BrilliantIrishBands

Looooooooooooooove this one from @COLUMBIAMILLS, who are neither Columbian or millers, and possibly all the best for that. modern / 80's vibes open.spotify.com/track/6km5gwxn… #BrilliantIrishBands

I can imagine the video for this song, its a bit Miami vice, a bit Will Smith, and a bit the 1975's, but kinda better than that sounds. I also do not make videos, no-one lets me. @truetidesband:
open.spotify.com/track/6byppFFx… #BrilliantIrishBands

This some excellent spooky pop from @laoisemusic, cool as all hell. open.spotify.com/track/5FMNvCco… #BrilliantIrishBands

Have to throw in a bit of @OtherkinOK - rock and roll and ramones and hives and attitude ...open.spotify.com/track/1IxdiOhr… #BrilliantIrishBands

This fellas' flow is exceptional, tunes for your feet right here... the verse is the best you'll hear this year from an Irish vocalist - @JafarisMusic open.spotify.com/track/4Z0W5gQm… #BrilliantIrishBands

so, @WeAreOrchid are an island of absolutley excellent indie pop in a sea of sameness, this is a cool tune:
open.spotify.com/track/0TCevd2h… #BrilliantIrishBands

This song manages to sound like it's always existed while also sounding completely unique. I love it so much. @alazarussoul open.spotify.com/track/5gezEw4B… #BrilliantIrishBands

i'm such a fan of Limerick's @ELangfordMusic, songs so lovely and warm...
open.spotify.com/track/6Odp6xqx… #BrilliantIrishBands

I really like this from Dublins' @HeyGalants - a band made up of shoegazery types, kinda reminds me of a more chilled stone roses vibe too for some reason. open.spotify.com/track/4Zfotfzq… #BrilliantIrishBands

This is the song I put on when I'm in my dressing gown strutting around the house doing the actions in the morning. Try it, it's excellent, as is the song. @MangoXMathMan open.spotify.com/track/0OEkA4dP… #BrilliantIrishBands

Change of pace - this is wonderful from @FelixTandem - & the video is clever too if you get a chance... open.spotify.com/track/0N4T57ID… #BrilliantIrishBands

@yevagabonds are an amazing soulful folk band who happened to live beside almost half of us for a while, and they were excellent neighbors and soulful sessioneers.
open.spotify.com/track/2PC2Tnwj… #BrilliantIrishBands

The awesome @ShipsMusic went and bloody won the Choice music prize, and if you win that you must be excellent. This is my favourite song from that deadly album: open.spotify.com/track/1x9dzokw… #BrilliantIrishBands

.. Which leads me to the super excellent @RusanganoFamily and this banger of a tune! open.spotify.com/track/3BjYrIfE… #BrilliantIrishBands

The super brilliant @musicbyloah and the hero that is @RuairiLBantum join forces on this beauty from 2 years ago - both are supreme talents. Plus the music is all backwardsy and futuristic, always a bonus. open.spotify.com/track/1EB9Eb6h… #BrilliantIrishBands

Ok - thats loads to be getting on with, hope you find something that you love in here. Gotta switch off! x

oh - and I am already realizing people I forgot, (sorry!) and I intentionally didn't include established acts. x
