'In February of 2024, a fresh and explosive new sound hit the Cork music scene hard. Relishing every second spent on stage together, and sporting what can only be described as an arts and crafts project gone wrong, that sound was Smithereens.

Hailing from Kilkenny, Leitrim and Cork, Smithereens is the fabrication of a long burning desire to share art with dear friends and to make them dance. With their unique blend of jazz, funk and grunge, this is an artistic ambition that regularly comes to fruition. Emotive songwriting paired with some not-too-shabby musicianship proves to work wonders both in the studio and at live shows, where the 5 lads seem to enjoy themselves even more than the audience. Smithereens have been described as having the ‘energy of Gurriers’, and the ability to create an ‘unspoken electricity between themselves and the crowd.’Smithereens have sold out local Cork venues such as the Kino, completed their first Irish tour and released their first EP, along with two standalone singles. The four lads are excited to show the world the music they've been working on and recording in 2025.'

‘Your granny’s secret sauce, Avenue 68, has quickly become a standout act in Ireland’s music scene. Through silky vocals and intricate guitar lines, this infectiously groovy 5-piece crafts a soundscape full of soul and energy. For lovers of RnB, jazz and funk, this band is one to keep on your radar.’
