Hotgirl is a band based in Dublin/Drogheda. Beginning as a bedroom project by lead singer/songwriter Ashley Abbedeen, the music has transformed from its humble lo-fi trip hop origins into the noise-infused melodic dissonance that has come to define the band’s sound.

Rachael Lavelle is an alternative artist from Dublin described in the press as having a “fine line in slow-burning songs of urban isolation”. Lavelle’s debut album, Big Dreams, was released November 2023.
