Who Art Thou?

Today on the podcast I have Ryan and Jonny of the Runner!Hailing from the vibrant streets of Dublin, Runner is a dynamic four-piece that blends nostalgia rock with the raw edge of indie grunge. Drawing inspiration from the iconic sounds of the ’70s—think the intricate compositions of Rush and the atmospheric depth of Pink Floyd—alongside the gritty authenticity of ’90s grunge legends like Nirvana and Radiohead, their music evokes a sense of both longing and rebellion.I'll be chatting with the lads about the their musical influences, how the band formed, their two singles, 'Distance' and 'View', their upcoming shows in New York as part of the New Colossus festival and everything the band has in store for 2026.They have also been announced as part of Whelan's Ones to Watch this year so make sure to grab a ticket to start your new year off the best way possible!Runner WebsiteRunner on Linktree Hosted on Acast.

Today on the podcast I am joined by Adam McCabe AKA Cabin!You may know Adam from his previous work with the exceptionally brilliant band, Brass Phantoms but since then, he has embarked on his own solo adventure with this musical project.For this episode, myself and Adam will be chatting about his upcoming EP, 'Yuppie', which is to be released on December 5th. Packed with gorgeous instrumentation, brilliant vocals and sunny production, this is a must-listen to EP when it is released. He has released two singles off the EP so far, 'Grind' and 'It's All Over (For You), both showcasing his amazing songwriting ability. The EP contains a social commentary throughout on what a 'Yuppie' represents in today's world.We also went down a startling amount of avenues of conversation that I did not think we were going to go.Having been a massive fan of his singles since the beginning, it was a massive treat to have Adam on the podcast to chat about this stellar upcoming EP!Cabin on LinktreeSacred Noose live at Fibber Magees w/ Lymphoedema, Their Last Stop and Ancient Malice Hosted on Acast.
