Cardinals release new single 'Barbed Wire'

Cork indie group Cardinals have released their new single, 'Barbed Wire'.

The track, which lands alongside a black and white video, is the fourth song to be taken from their upcoming debut album, Masquerade.

Due for release on February 13, the ten-song collection is set to feature themes of religion and will be split in two distinct halves, with the latter being "a darker and grittier exploration of the themes than what comes before,” said Euan.

The band was formed by brothers Euan and Finn Manning, their cousin Darragh, and school friends Oskar Gudinovic and Aaron Hurley. Already this year Cardinals have supported NewDad, Fontaines D.C., Wunderhorse and The Pogues and seen their music featured in Netflix's House of Guinness.

Earlier this month, Cardinals announced they would be going on tour throughout Ireland and the UK next year, which will see the group take to the stage in Dublin, Cork and Belfast. Tickets for the tour are on sale now Via ticketmaster.ie
