SOAK
Derry
Sixteen years old and possessing a disarming way with melody, Bride Monds-Watson, aka SOAK, has already released two fine EPs (Trains and Sea Creatures) and wowed crowds at Glasgowbury and Other Voices. She's also got support slots for Heathers and Snow Patrol under her belt, and earned plaudits from Duke Special and The Undertones. The music student has a refreshing take on things, as evidenced by her strong and inventive lyrics. Prepare to enter her world of ghostbusters, dinosaurs and irritating fish, getting utterly lost in the process. A unique voice for 2013.
