Ireland’s most exciting up and coming electro-pop act VANN MUSIC make waves yet again with another explosive song and unique video written by Bobby McGlynn and Bryan Quinn (whose previous work includes the Rubberbandits’ “Dad’s Best Friend”), and directed by Myles O’ Reilly (Lisa Hannigan etc.) for their latest single “Tina”. The track is a guaranteed festival earworm with synthy hooks, an infectious chorus, and unstoppable beats that will keep you dancing all summer long.

PictureHouse are delighted to announce they’ve signed with Cherry Red Records and will release a remastered and repackaged edition  of “Evolution” in July through the British record label. The first release is a remixed version of Hello which is due out on June 23rd.

Following the success of the single “rules of science” which was playlisted on BBC Radio 2, RTE Radio 1 and dozens of other stations including stations in Cyprus, Romania, Latvia and Indonesia and which garnered support from the likes of Irish rugby legend Brian O’Driscoll, a spokesperson for the band today said “We’re absolutely delighted to have teamed up with Cherry Red Records.

Their experienced and passionate team are the perfect fit for us and we’re looking forward to working with them on this release and to continue the momentum that we’ve started to build in the UK this year. ‘Hello’ was co-written with Lasse Anderson in Dublin, recorded by Adam Kviman (who’s other credits include “Save Tonight” by Eagle Eye Cherry) in Sweden, and remixed in March by long time collaborator Pete Glenister in London. Pete worked extensively with PictureHouse in the mid 90’s producing 2 albums and co-writing a number of songs including “Sunburst”.Catch the band live at The Button Factory on July 30th.

In 2011 Kevin, Alex, John, & Tony of Kodakid began a journey that has seen them play some extensive gigs & festivals in Ireland and the UK, playing to thousands of people along the way, sharing the stage with acts such as Bastille, The Noisettes, & The Riptide Movement. They have documented this journey and have brought it all together as their debut album. The release date is the 30th June and the album will be available on CD, download and a very limited number of individually numbered vinyl pressings. It goes without saying that the band are very excited about this release and cannot wait to share it with their fans.
