Northern Irish band General Fiasco are going from strength to strength and this track is due for release on March 5th on Dirty Hit which is also home to Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Little Comets, both of whom are no strangers to these pages.
The band are doing five dates in the UK in February. The band have also announced their first gig in Moscow. Don’t You Ever is taken from their forthcoming second album which is due for release this Summer.
Window Seats are a Belfast band who have got themselves playlisted on MTV Rocks with the video for their track Local Superhero. The track is taken from their EP Frozen Bones which was released just before Christmas.
They are a complete DIY band and the video for Local Superhero took ten months to complete. Listen to Culture Cafe on Wednesday on RTÉ 2XM, I’ll be speaking to Jude. All the band’s music is available free from music.windowseatsofficial.com

The sickenly talented foursome from Derry have adapted a pop indie sound that is destined to win fans over. Uptempo with a driving synth bass line, this song will surely get the crowd going at many festivals this Summer. It’s catchy, quirky electro indie pop, glorious and delightful.. This is out on February 17th, I want to know when the album’s due.

He’s also planning to do some touring in Europe and in the US. The ‘Unplugged’ EP is available for download, for free from Sian Records. Here’s a video for one of the tracks, ‘Tomorrow’s Another Day’.
I spoke to Fiona O’Kane from runaway Go for Culture Cafe about two weeks ago and really enjoyed the chat. Delicate Man is their second single and is the follow up to Alligator. Really liking these guys. Delicate Man has also been remixed by break-beat pioneer Paul Grogan of Rampant Records.
