Robb Murphy - On My Side
Belfast's jack of all trades turns his attention to quirky acoustic pop to devilishly sexy results.
Empty Lungs - Identity Lost
Tweek your nipples, in your face punk rock splattered with melodic hooks.
Chris Campbell - Impressions
Chris began crafting his 'heart on sleeve' acoustic troubadour career three years ago in Canada as a means of passing the cold Winter nights. Three years later and the playful ambivalence is gone and a focused young musician begins his ascent into the music industry. He has recruited an array of exciting young Northern Irish musicians to flesh out his backing band Paper Boats. 'Impressions' is not so much, 'this is Chris Campbell', but a demo introduction of what's to come from this very talented young artist.
