Raging Sons Release New Single ‘Feel Love’

RAGING SONS are the 3 piece alternative rock band from Limerick in Ireland consisting of Fint Tynan  on Vocals, Colum Kelly on Guitar and Adam Reeves on Drums.

The trio burst onto the scene in 2021 with their critically acclaimed debut album titled ‘20:20’; which was dubbed “a fire starter” by Hot Press Magazine. This followed a string of ear-catching singles, including RTÉ 2FM’s Track Of The Week ‘Breathe Easy’, which collectively amassed 200K+ streams on Spotify and all despite the band being a completely independent outfit.

March 2023 saw the release of ‘Talk’, the bands much anticipated first single since their debut album, which garnered much national interest and was picked as Spin South West Track Of The Week

Raging Sons are now on the cusp of releasing their second single of the year: ‘Feel Love’ which is  an infusion of electronic, industrial, and alt-rock that explores love from different perspectives. 

The new track showcases the band’s unique sound with a medley of dark, enigmatic synths, roaring guitars, driving bass and powerful drums all forming a hurricane around mercurial and absorbing vocals. It’s a track full of energy, angst, stoicism, heart, and honesty.

The band have said of the track:

“Lyrically, ‘Feel Love’ is a love song from different perspectives. Finding it, having it, losing it, trying to get it back. Right person, wrong time. Wanting someone to wait for you until you’re ready to make that step. It speaks to highs: “feel on high” when love is at its best, and to the lows: “falling to my knees” upon failure, finishing on the line “I feel love, now I’m crawling”, evoking a desperation to get back what you have lost. ‘Feel Love’ is about not looking back: “they say tomorrows on the run as today’s mystery”. Love is often guesswork, so you may as well keep moving.

Musically, we hark back to the debut album 20:20 on ‘Feel Love’, with a blend of electronic and industrial sounds sitting with our traditional alternative rock elements of gnarly guitar, big drums, and rolling bass. ‘Feel Love’ is inspired by the likes of Richard Ashcroft, Elbow and Nine Inch Nails in its electronic, industrial, rock distillation. Combined, ‘Feel Love’ is an infusion of electronic, industrial, and alt-rock that explores the theme of love from different perspectives.”

The track was written collectively by the trio and was Recorded & Produced by Ben Wanders at Wanderland Recording Studio in Limerick.

Dirty Slippers Release New Single ‘Wide Open’

DIRTY SLIPPERS are the four piece indie pop rock band originally hailing from Budapest who following their musical success are making the move to London.  The band is made up of Lazar Lobo-Szaloky  on vocals and guitars, Bebi Ferenczi on drums, Dominik Felleg  on bass and Daniel Vikukel on keyboards.

To date, the  band’s music has gained more than 1.8 Million views on Youtube and over 100k streams on Spotify alone. 

The band’s debut entirely English single of ‘Honest Kid’ which was released in February 2023 has already amassed over 41K streams on Spotify and received praise such as:

“Honest Kid’ is a heady mix of yearning nostalgia and aching optimism, of rock and the wonderfully theatrical. It’s a track sure to give you goosebumps long after the first listen”. – RGM Magazine 

“We were impressed with the choices of notes and the ethereal and emotional feel that it lends to the track. The layered vocals in the chorus are a superb touch and serve to bolster the lead vocal perfectly. There are some glorious harmonies throughout this track – particularly in the breakdown section before the solo”. – Send Me Your Ears 

“Just when you think the industry is jaded with looped pop songs, out comes a fresh act such as Dirty Slippers ready to take the biz by storm and prove their talent with impeccable vocals and instrumental weight”. – Illustrate Magazine 

DIRTY SLIPPERS have very recently recorded a new 10 track English speaking album at the world famous Abbey Road Studios with Grammy-nominated producer Tim Palmer (U2, Bon Jovi and Goo Goo Dolls). The first offering from the album is the ultimate rock masterpiece  of  ‘Wide Open’.

‘Wide Open’ is straight off the bat rock n roll anthem for the masses with its rhythmic drumming, interspersed with mesmerising guitar hooks and crystal clear stand alone vocals, worthy of stadium sized status. 

The band have said of the inspiration behind the track;

“‘Wide Open’ is a motivational hymn for the youth in a modern world, when everything is much harder, the people are more aggressive and the daily problems in our life are even worse. It’s  a story of a person  whose life is hampered by many difficulties and he often feels that everything and everyone  has conspired against him. But despite this, he fights like a one man army for his dreams, to find  happiness and the meaning and mission of his life.”
