Last January saw bands who went on to have a huge 2014 - Buffalo Sunn (pictured), The Academic and Vann Music to name but three - banishing those post-Christmas blues with performances at the Whelan's Ones to Watch event, and this year new acts are invited to put themselves forward for selection.
Taking place over four days, January 8-11, Whelan's and the Opium Rooms will host over 60 of Ireland's best and brightest prospects, and for the first time are asking for submissions to take part. If you reckon you've got what they're looking for, head on over here and throw your hat in the ring!
