ON OUR RADAR

Written by Sophie Lee . Founder . 12/01/26

On Our Radar is for artists we believe are worth noticing early.

1. Sell Everything

Dublin-based Sell Everything are immediately interesting. Bass-driven tracks like “Girls, Girls, Girls” feel loose and playful, paired with soft, almost whispery vocals.“Landlord Blues” stands out, there’s a moment in the track that strongly reminds me of Red Hot Chili Peppers, particularly in the way the lyrics are delivered. Thrown out casually, almost conversationally. It’s confident without trying too hard. Sell Everything feel instinctive and unforced, and they’re a band I can genuinely see going far.

2. Mood Bored

   
   

Dutch indie-rock trio Mood Bored are hard to shake once you hear them. “Lucky” hooked me almost instantly, what makes the song work so well is the interplay between the vocals, layered without competing. It’s addictive in the best way, feeling both loose and deliberate at the same time.

3. Croíthe

   
   

Croíthe, also from Dublin, sit in a gorgeous space between post-punk and rock. Tracks like “I Heard, I Saw” carry a weight that’s felt as much through sound as through lyrics, the emotion comes through in the intensity of the guitar just as strongly as in the words themselves. “Soldier” was an instant like for me. The line “His mother cries, oh where’s my baby gone?” is genuinely haunting. Croíthe feel like a band who value depth and honesty above all else.

4. Still Blue

   
   

Dublin-based Still Blue are pure feel-good indie pop. I first came across them in 2023 and later saw them at Indiependence in Cork, their warmth translates effortlessly live. “Ladybird” lets Nicole Lyons’ voice take centre stage, and the band’s energy feels genuine, playful, and completely sincere.

5. Lauren Ann

   
   

Newry artist Lauren Ann blends pop with a grungier edge. “Blatent” stands out, a darker, melancholic backdrop carrying a quieter form of female rage. It’s nuanced, honest, and immediately compelling.
