After The Encounter - Scaredacat - Bother - Shallo

After The Encounter:

The Dublin-based Alt. Rock band After The Encounter came to life in the late summer of 2023.What began as a casual project quickly blossomed into something more meaningful. Four seasoned musicians, each hailing from different corners of the world but now calling Dublin home, were brought together by their deep passion for music.Fueled by a desire to create something bigger, they soon found themselves writing songs that reflected their diverse influences, crafting their own unique style of progressive alternative rock with the raw energy of classic hard rock, post punk, grunge and post rock.
Having just finished recording and mixing their first 3 singles with engineer Dan Doherty in Darklands Studio, they are now ready to conquer venues and play for fans from Dublin dive bars to worlds unknown.

Scaredacat:

ScareDaCat is a 5 piece outfit established in 2022 from Co. Wicklow, merging influences from Turnstile, Deftones, Demob Happy, Foals to 00’s throwback Hip-Hop. Originally started as a solo RnB project, this full line up consists of James O’Connor(vocals/guitar), Éanna Malone (guitar/synth), Ambrose Bourke (bass/synth), Niall O’Leary(lead guitar) & Michael Newell (drums).

Bother:

Following the band's inception in fall 2022, the last two years have been a rollercoaster for the South Wales Collective. Having developed a fearsome reputation for a hectic DIY touring schedule alongside the release of two independent singles, Bother. have gone from strength to strength - and following the release of their third independent release 'Charlie's Song' this Summer the band are taking to the stage once again for the remainder of their annual touring calendar.

Shallo:

SHALLO is a two-piece alternative rock/metal band from Dublin. Blending fuzzy riffs with vicious drumming, with a sprinkle of powerful vocals and lyricism, Shawn Legaspi and Willow Leavey create a massive sound inspired by the likes of Nothing But Thieves, Royal Blood and Set It Off and channel their energy into songs that tell stories of their own struggles, and social commentaries of their world from perspectives of minorities.
