In this latest issue of Hot Press, we excitedly look forward to the Forbidden Fruit festival, taking place in Kilmainham over the June bank holiday weekend. We chat a whole host of acts set to perform at the event - Beirut's Zach Condon, Kildare producer MMOTHS, US alt. rockers Death Cab For Cutie, Leftfield's Neil Barnes, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco and Dublin two-piece We Cut Corners, to name but a few!
Also in this issue, we meet Charlie Casanova actor Emmett Scanlan and Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh.
Meanwhile, over in Critical Mass, we review albums by PIL, Tenacious D, The Gaslight Anthem, Scissor Sisters, The Cult and Neil Young, and live performances from Elvis Costello, Alabama Shakes, SBTRKT, the Camden Crawl Dublin and Lianne La Havas.
