THUMPER

This week's Band of the Week is the fast punching Irish alt-rock heavyweights THUMPER - who have just released their new album 'Sleeping With The Light On'.

With a line up of two drummers and four guitarists - THUMPER shouldn't make sense, but armed with their wall of sound they are pulling themselves ahead in the race that is the booming Dublin music scene at the moment. With their heaviest release to date - they took a moment to talk to us about how the album came together.

 |RELEASE OF THE WEEK|

Cavetown

Reaching the milestone of his sixth full-length at the age of 27, Cavetown - real name Robin Skinner - is bringing some edge to his trademark lo-fi repertoire. Exploring a wider range of alternative sounds and styles, Running With Scissors is his most emotionally mature release to date, and at the best time of his and his following's lives.
