This is gonna be a monster post. Thankfully bands and their representatives keep me in touch with everything new and exciting that's out there. Here I'm gonna introduced a whole bunch of bands and artists who'll no doubt feature more prominently on the blog in the future!
The following list is in no particular order except to say I've book-ended the list with my particular favourites!
-------------------------
Alan Doyle
Dubliner Alan Doyle was previously based in Spain for six years where he formed part of Madrid's emerging independent music scene and where he launched his debut LP “Places”. He's recently released a new EP entitled "His Words Left Fatal Wounds - Demos" and it showcases Alan's great deep vocals and songwriting talents. I especially love 'The Road to Reno' which can be downloaded for free here: http://alandoyle.bandcamp.com/album/his-words-left-fatal-wounds-demos

Paul Creane & The Changing Band
Wexford's Paul Creane released an Alt-country album in April 2011 entitled Tommy Black And The Twelve Days Of Lucy. It's on Soundcloud to have a listen to so I've embeded a track from it below! Sounds really interesting!

Morning Claws
The Belfast band introduced themselves well on their site: "They created an intricate blend of electronic and indie music and they called it Morning Claws." This free download is really nice:

Lorcan James
Lorcan James hails from Co. Meath and is on the cusp of a breakthrough in Ireland. Backed by a decent band Lorcan will be in the Academy 2 on December 3rd and their sound has the polished radio friendly rock sound primed for regular daytime airplay!

The Great Balloon Race
Cork's 'The Great Balloon Race' actually sound like their name. Fusing folk, jazz, prog and psychedelic their music is like a soundtrack to being up high in a balloon! Their EP can be downloaded for free from bandcamp and here's the first track from the EP .... the gorgeous 'Birds of Canada'.
