Hot for 2022: First Class and Coach

The Ballydehob alternative outfit dropped first singles ‘Holy Shit’ and ‘Lullaby’ back in 2019, before unveiling their impressive debut LP The Truth About Honey the following year. Album #2 is on the way, with the band spending last summer in the studio. Seeking to push the boundaries of punk and indie-rock, the quartet’s sound includes reverb-drenched piano, squalling guitars, driving bass and muscular drums - punctuated by raw German and English vocals.
