Who Art Thou‪?‬ Barra Carlin

I'm delighted to have Cian and Emmet of the band Bucket on the podcast today!
One of the most exciting, abrasive and certainly loud bands at the moment, I'll be chatting to the lads about how the band began, their two latest singles, 'Who Knows' and 'Budgie' (Including a very funny story about the origin of the aforementioned song) and how they mark a new era and sound for the band, loudest bands, Bon Jovi, and what the band is working towards next!
The first time I saw this band I was completely floored by the sheer heft of their sound and the energy on stage, been a fan ever since so to have them on the podcast is really awesome - The lads had me laughing throughout the whole episode.

Today I'm joined by the Dublin-Based Alternative band AZURE on the podcast!
I'll be chatting with Sean and Sam about their brand new EP, 'Case Del Dáil' (maybe the best EP title of the year?) which was released on the 5th of April.
I would highly recommend checking this EP, it's absolutely brilliant from start to finish - my personal favorite tune off it is 'Soul Stricken Misfit Black'.
I'll be chatting with the band how the EP came out about, recording with Beardfire Music, the band's many influences, favorite live performances, the beautiful artwork for the EP designed by Chloe Harte and many other topics of discussion!
It was also one of the most insightful episodes I've recorded in a while for discovering new Irish acts, so if you want to hear about an amazing band and then some more, this is the episode to listen to!

Today's guest is Moth Poet!
Moth Poet is a Paris-born poet and visual artist of Irish, French and American nationalities. They bridge seas through poetry and cultural anthropology, investigating migration paths and experiences of liminality. Jo has worked with indigenous leaders in Colombia, left stray feathers in Berlin and stalked the streets of Dublin as a vampire.
Their stage performances combine poetry, physical theatre and drag in order to celebrate the queer and the unknowable in each of us.
I first got to see them preform opening at the αnnie ∧ the ωitness headline show in the Bello Bar and immediately thought to myself that I'd never seen a spoken word poetry show like it - They put on a performance that you just have to see and hear!
I'll be chatting to them about how they got into poetry, their costumes, their characters (which includes the cryptid Mothman the fact I'm genuinely terrified of Moths), where their inspiration comes from and bunch of other topics like Sci-fi and Blackbeard the pirate!

Had the absolute pleasure of having Aaron, Luke and Alan of the fantastic Cork band, Outsound!
This is a band I've had recommended to me countless times by bands around Ireland and that completely blew me away with their live performance in their first leg of Metal 2 the Masses, which got them through to the semi-finals!
I'll be chatting with the band about Metal 2 the Masses, their fantastic album 'Megatherium' that was released last year, a lil bit about the next album that they are working on, funny song titles, Alice in Chains, Tool and a a whole lot more.
If you haven't listened to their album Megatherium I would highly reccommend giving it a listen, absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
You can see Outsound live next at Metal 2 the Masses on April 20th in Fibbers!
