We Come In Pieces formed back in 2010, within a hectic 2-year period, they released 2 full-length albums while touring the UK and Europe 4 times. After a run of bad luck and life getting in the way, the band hit the skids. Returning 6 years after their last release (among subsequent other failures), WCIP released their epic third full length offering ‘Stop the Rot’. Available on heavyweight vinyl, CD and digital, it features 11 tracks of fast, heavy, hairy, aggressively balding rock and roll music.

Coming off the back of a string of dates to launch their excellent new album, DOTT make a welcome return to Limerick after a prolonged absence. The eagerly awaited ‘Heart Swell’ was released on Graveface Records back in June. The first single from the album, ‘Like a Girl’ featured Sadie Dupuis from Speedy Ortiz on guitar. Dott has spent the summer busy with performances across Ireland and the UK. Some highlights have been the Galway International Arts Festival, Other Voices Ballina and the Irish and UK tour with We Are Scientists.

The broadcast will go out live on 99.9FM, will stream from the Wired FM’s website, and we’ll also have a special high-quality video stream on Facebook on the night too.  

Post-Punk Podge & The Technohippies have been having an incredible year, with appearances at Body & Soul, Knockanstockan and two performances at this year’s Electric Picnic. The epitome of the DIY ethic, they have been winning over fans with their energetic performances – an attack on the senses, part sermon, part punk and hip-hop, wholly raucous and infectious. The influences do not stop there; their sound is a hybrid of many different genres including Krautrock, Irish Trad, Techno and Classical. They released their debut EP entitled Kick Against the Pricks last year, and Podge released the Stark Raving EP with Naive Ted in October 2017 and collaborated with Jimmy Penguin on his Savages EP in May 2018. With they are consistent output, and commitment to playing live across the country, it’s clear they are in the music game for the long haul and not a mere temporary success.
