The band, led by brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy, first gained consideration by means of a sequence of raucous pandemic-era dwell streams. Since then, their two albums up to now – 2022’s self-titled debut and final yr’s ‘Irish Rock N Roll’ – have used centuries-old songs to inform a narrative of inequality and sophistication warfare that hits a resonant word in the present day.

Chatting with NME earlier this yr about how their music is resonating with individuals, Charles Hendry mentioned: “It’s what people music is there for. Woody Guthrie mentioned that, and , it’s the blues, it’s punk, it’s hip-hop. It’s an expression of people who find themselves not completely glad with the deal they’ve bought in life and who can see that it’s not honest. The world will not be honest and it’s not honest as a result of individuals don’t need it to be honest. You already know, politicians and fucking wealthy cunts, they’re all fucking bastards. They need to all be truly killed.

“Rishi Sunak – he’s a bastard. What did he say the opposite day? All these those that say Britain has been on the unsuitable facet of historical past, he mentioned, ‘Nicely, , no nation is ideal’. Piece of shit. We have to get the individuals who don’t need to be in energy and get them and put them in energy as a result of it’s not working the best way it's.”
