Stephen Kelly, frontman and songwriter of Dublin rock band Raglans, is embarking on his first solo journey with new track 'Pile Up'.

The song is taken from his collection Home Brew Volume 1, a lockdown concoction of newly written & home produced material.

Working with mixing engineer, Eamonn Conway (The Scratch, Sorcha Richardson, Otherkin) remotely from pandemic bedrooms, Home Brew is a collection of new tracks and bonus unreleased recordings that have never seen the light of day.

'Pile Up' is accompanied by an animated video released this Wednesday by Adam Daniels from London based visual media company PrimitiveEarth.

Home Brew Volume 1 will be released from January 2nd on all major streaming platforms.

Kelly intends to continue with Home Brew Volume 2 in early 2021 before embarking on live solo dates and further releases as well as touring with Raglans.

The band returned in January of this year with single 'One More Drop' - a fun and catchy indie rock track, complete with roaring guitars, pounding drums and sincere vocals.

'One More Drop' sounds anthemic with a punchy pop-punk influence, almost made to be heard live.

The past few years have seen Raglans blaze a trail to cult status. Highlights include releasing their self titled Top 5 charting debut album - which to date has over 5 million plays on Spotify - their single ‘Who Knows’ being nominated for RTÉ Choice Music Prize ‘Irish Song of the Year’ and a host of European tour appearances with acts including The Fray, The Libertines, Lifehouse as well as performing at festivals including Electric Picnic, Soundwave Australia, British Summer Festival and Rock am Ring Germany.
