leaders of men
Hailing from the south Dublin suburb of Tallaght, Leaders Of Men are a fiery five-piece proposition that have been making massive waves on Irish shores since they came together in March 2011. With a volcanic sound that recalls the dark intensity of Interpol and the melodic reach of The Walkmen, their ace card is a ferocious live act, with frontman Brian Ashe commanding a stage shuddering under the weight of four force of nature players. They recently released second EP A Trick On Confidence.

this club
At the heart and soul of this band is the desire to get people shaking their butts from Friday night all through to Monday morning."
So promise this Dublin four-piece who duly deliver with electrock belters like 'I Won't Worry' and 'Add It Up' that are guaranteed to make even the most immobile of bottoms wiggle. Formerly trading as Hoarsebox, they're a guaranteed good night out, and scored a massive hit with last year's aptly titled Highlife album.

NANU NANU
Bringing 'alien pop' down to earth, Nanu Nanu are an intriguing synth duo consisting of partners Marc Aubele and Laura Sheeran. The act sees Sheeran get away from the singer-songwriter day job and indulge in some wild electro, as she takes to the stage under the guise of Glitterface. Alongside the extraterrestrial sounds, Nanu Nanu bring a strong visual element to their shows. Expect mirrors, LEDs – the full Floyd shebang!

TANDEM FELIX
Channelling a love of late '90s post-rock, Dublin four-piece Tandem Felix combine downbeat tempos, heart-breaking melodies and Thom York-esque vocals. They formed at just 14 and have gained a following across Dublin through assiduous gigging. Having started as a relatively conventional indie group by the time they released 2010's Tweedledee they had transformed into something far more intriguing; a quasi-instrumental outfit whose best moments suggest Bends-era Radiohead jamming with Low or Slint – their music can be tumultuous, cathartic even, but with an ever-present undertow of melancholia. They had a big moment at the recent Hard Working Class Heroes Festivals, where Hot Press' Maeve Heslin picked them out as one of the highlights of the weekend.
