Following stellar sets last week on the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions' The Y&E Series, we're delighted to present Soda Blonde as our latest act – performing live on the Hot Press Instagram tonight, June 23, at 7.30pm.

Dublin-based alt-pop quartet Soda Blonde have built their formidable reputation on glittery guitars and irresistible hooks, coupled with down-to-earth songwriting from lead singer Faye O’Rourke. They are truly one of the best bands in Ireland.

Last month, they released their stunning four-track EP, Isolation Content.

Continuing tonight with Soda Blonde, The Y&E Series is shining a light on some of the best new and emerging talent that Ireland has to offer in 2020 – with 40 acts joining Hot Press on Instagram for special live performances across 40 consecutive days, thanks to the support of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
