25. The Riot Tapes

While only having one single release and being a very young band, The Riot Tapes have charmed their way into the top 50 with a bunch of great tunes like this one:

24. Burning Codes

The new Burning Codes album called ‘Rivers Of Hope’ will be released on 20th June on Dublin Label Indiecater Records and if it's anything like the last album I'll be ecstatic. No one makes music as relevant to my life as the Burning Codes albums. Bring on the new album!

Have a listen to the new single: We Are Like Gold

23. Fiach

Fiach makes the top 50 for producing a superb debut album last year. Like many a band out there his release was badly timed in that if it came out during the Heyday of singer-songwriters his bank balance would look a lot healthier! Is Fiach up there with Damien, Damo D or Declan yet? I think he's almost at that level! Put it another way I'd pay way more money to see Fiach live than Mundy!

22. Groom

Groom are just brilliant. They make one of the best albums of the year, play a few small gigs and then disappear to their different musical projects. I've no doubt album number five is already in the works along with their passion for all things music.






21. Anthony Furey & The Young Folk

Brimming with charm Anthony Furey with his band The Young Folk released a really nice debut album last year. The band have since become just 'The Young Folk' and I can't wait to hear the new songs which result from the collective band.
