Hot for 2020 Irish Acts: New Pagans

Featuring former and current members of Jetplane Landing, Fighting With Wire and Girls Names, this Belfast-based bunch have an impeccable pedigree and are, not surprisingly, one of the finest guitar bands in the land. Each release sees them get even more monstrous, with last October’s ‘Charlie Has The Face Of A Saint’ quite rightly Track of The Fortnight in our 1,00th issue. Fans of explosive fretwork, gloomy vocals and Pretty Girls Make Graves: prepare to worship at the altar of New Pagans.

Hear: ‘I Could Die’.
