Dublin band Æ Mak have announced their new single, 'I Walk', which will be launched in The Sugar Club next month with support from Laoise and Lumo Club DJs. They're also playing a number of dates throughout the country in April and May. ‘I Walk’ follows the November release of debut EP I Can Feel It In My Bones.

As well as headlining The Sugar Club, Æ Mak will play The Chestnut Victorian bar in Birr, County Offaly (22 April); The MACC in Belfast with support from Beauty Sleep (13 May); and Galway’s Roisin Dubh (24 May).

Combining a dreamy soundscape with bewitching dance moves Æ Mak have already earned a reputation as one of the most exciting young acts on the Irish festival circuit. Backed by a five-piece band, Æ Mak’s Aoife McCann and Ellie McMahon have played to highly receptive audiences at Body & Soul, Electric Picnic, Other Voices, Knockanstockan and Another Love Story. With their percussive vocal harmonies, synchronised choreography and punk-esque performance style, Æ Mak are a fiery live duo.

The Dangerhounds are a Leeds-based, punkish indie-pop band similar to Circa Waves and Catfish & The Bottlemen. They have just released their buzzy new single ‘Nobody Gets Hurt’. The freewheeling slice of infectious indie pop arrives hot on the heels of their previous singles ‘Revolver’ and ‘Santiago’ last year.

Since forming in 2015, The Dangerhounds have been busy playing a series of riotous live shows and making a name for themselves on the fertile Leeds indie rock scene. Influenced by genre heavyweights The Strokes, Kings of Leon and Arctic Monkeys their debut EP and 2016 singles led to airplay with BBC Introducing, who were quick to spot their knack for Saturday night indie-disco melodies and energetic riffs. With celebrated local producer Ed Heaton at the controls, their new material builds on the punch and swagger of their earlier recordings and offers more examples of their high-octane, pop-punk thrills.

The Dangerhounds will be playing live dates in support of the new single, including a launch show at The Library in Leeds on 17th March. Listen to ‘Nobody Gets Hurt’ here
