Belfast’s hottest emerging band New Pagans have shared a live video of them performing their award nominated single ‘It’s Darker’, recorded at The Palm House in their hometown.

It showcases the band’s effortless flair and raw energy which has fans and tastemakers equally excited and has seen them rightfully nominated as Best Live Act 2019 in the Northern Ireland Music Prize, as well as the track being shortlisted for Best Single.

Channelling elements of rock and alt-pop which sits them amongst the likes of Wolf Alice and Black Honey with Pixies-esque influences, ‘It’s Darker’ confronts an incident in which a musician became aggressive towards singer Lyndsey at a party and wouldn’t tolerate her opinions, reminding listeners of gender equality.

New Pagans are currently performing throughout Ireland with upcoming shows in Portrush and Dublin before a hometown Christmas headline show at Voodoo, Belfast on December 22 and have more exciting release news coming very soon.

2019 LIVE DATES

15/11 – The Atlantic Bar, Portrush

06/12 – Bello Bar, Dublin (w/ HAVVK)

Following the release of their long-awaited, and critically acclaimed third album, The Ceiling, and a short run of sold-out UK headline dates, Birmingham dream-pop group Jaws are set to hit the road in November for a full UK tour.

Their third and most ambitious album yet saw the band head back into the studio with Gethin Pearson, who also produced 2016's Simplicity. The album represents another musical leap forward for the band, adding new textures and further honing a sound that has been theirs since their inception.

Jaws will play a full headline tour for November 2019. The announcement follows the bands recent sold-out UK tour dates. Speaking about the reaction to the shows, Schofield says “The recent live dates were the biggest shows we'd ever done and the reaction was beyond what we'd ever expected, every night was like a celebration of the new record and what we'd achieved up until that point and now we want to take that same atmosphere to more places around the country, we really can't wait for these shows, there's a few places we haven't been to for years.”

Jaws will play the following dates in November:

15th Nov – Bristol, The Fleece

18th Nov – Oxford, The Bullingdon
