Today's guests on the podcast are Donny and Emil of Dirty Marmalade!

I'll be chatting to the guys about their debut album, 'Hills of Breifne', which was released on May 30th.

The album tells the bizarre story of how the strong friendship of Lil' Phynott and Mildly Fool!sh has kept them surviving and thriving amongst the community of outsiders in their homeland of Cavan.

The songwriting covers themes of manipulation, substance abuse and narrow-minded attitudes of small town cliques, a personal commentary on modern social dysfunction in rural Ireland.

These themes are illustrated not only by the lyrical content but also by the audio samples weaved throughout the album which were spontaneously captured by Dirty Marmalade in their day to day lives. These samples include: inscrutable drunken arguments, boasting boy racers, angry voice messages & various eccentric encounters.

The album is available to stream everywhere now and you can also purchase it on CD along with some lovely T-shirts based off the album. You can listen to it here with the link attached.

Today's guest on the podcast is Mark and Keith of the band Forty Foot to chat about the bands latest EP, Body Breaking, which was released on the 7th of February,

One of Dublin’s finest and loudest alt rock prospects, Forty Foot, release their largest body of work to date, their debut EP ‘Body Breaking’. The release comes following the success of their two 2024 singles ‘Toothache’ and ‘Constellation’ which caught the attention of Golden Plec, Hot Press, First Music Contact, Rock N Load, Genuine Irish, The Beat.ie, IMRO and Ragged Cast, with radio play from Code Zero Radio and New Music Sonar.

The production on the EP is massive and powerful but doesn’t lack nuance. Each sound, each instrument, given its own space and plays a significant part in creating their sound. The tracks conjure a feeling and a sense that the band are right there, in the room with you, with each chord you can almost feel the air the speakers move. To capture their sound and bottle this feeling the band made the decision to record in their own rehearsal space. Turning to long-time collaborator Conor McLoughlin of Dublin rock sweethearts Sick Love to engineer and mix the EP, it was paramount to the band that it was imbued with the energy of their space.

A massive thanks to Michael of Old Crow Promotions for setting up this interview!

Today I am joined on the podcast by Sofia Sourianou, lead guitarist and founder of Deathbloom

Deathbloom is a four-piece "dreamo" girl band hailing from Manchester, UK. I was fortunate enough to catch this band open for Worn Out at their first UK headliner last month and have been an avid fan since. Their unique blend of Shoegaze, ethereal, dreamy soundscapes with metal and hardcore influences leads to an impressively dynamic and immersive sound.

I'll be chatting with Sofia about how the band began, their brilliant EP, 'Ophelia Sees', which was released last year, being a girl band in a male dominated scene and the very exciting plans the band has in store for 2025.

📢 GIG ANNOUNCEMENT
Since the 'Who Art Thou?' podcast has hit over 100 interviews and that I will be turning 30 on the 17th of August, I felt it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate by putting on a fantastic night of music, all for charity and wirh the entire lineup comprised of some of my favourite acts that have ever come on the podcast.

I decided that the night would be all in aid of Enable Ireland. The work these people do is absolutely incredible. Enable Ireland provides services to over 13,000 children and adults with disabilities and their families from over 40 locations in 14 counties. Covering childhood to adulthood their expert teams work with the individual and their family on a plan for each life stage. The work these people do through their support and services that they provide is truly life changing and helps those who use their services to achieve maximum independent, choice and inclusion in their communities.

My own mother works as a Special Needs Assistant in our local school and I hear constantly from her about how much of an incredible organisation Enable Ireland is and it's a massive privilege to have them on board for this event.

To celebrate this night of music, I have 4 absolutely fantastic bands playing on this lineup. First up we have Post-hardcore shoegazers, Raining in December. Then we have Nu-Metal titans, Cell Games. Following them we have Groove Tyrants, Grey Stag ! And we have one more band to announce at a later date.
Finishing up the night, we have the Sabotage's very own Colleen.mp3 djing the afterparty for a lovely night of heavy metal dancing.

It's been a dream of mine since starting the podcast to put on a show with the best talent this country has to be offer, so please come on down to Sin é on the 17th of August for this wonderful night!

Tickets are available through Eventbrite now, there's a link here for tickets and there is also a donation link available for anybody who can't make the event but would like to help out!
