Clock Opera once again tugging at the heart strings. I am so beyond excited for their debut album Ways to Forget, due out April 9th.
Check this out folks, the brand new Anna Ginsberg video for BBC‘s ‘How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep’; from Different Kind of Fix. It’s absolutely beautifully crafted and brings a little smile each time I watch it. Check it out, have a day dream to yourself and then go get moon soup for lunch!
It’s hard to believe that ‘Family’ is The Cast of Cheers first proper debut single. The band have been on many an Irish fans radar since they released their debut EP Chariot as a free download on bandcamp back in 2010. They’re a band that all of us felt had an insane amount of potential, so it’s great to see them get a traditional label release. On the back of this news, I spent the evening delving back into Chariot, it’s still sounding just as good and exciting two years later.
‘Family’ is to be released on 20th February 2012 on School Boy Error/Cooperative Music.

The band have been lauded by the ever popular Triple J in Oz, and with the upcoming release of their second EP, also titled Awkward they should start making some waves over this side of the world. If bright stick in your head pop hooks are your thing you’ll enjoy San Cisco, their debut EP Golden Revolver is well worth checking out also.
‘Awkward’ is available now on iTunes.
Don’t forget, the band are playing in Antrim, Cork and Dublin this week. You can get tickets here.
