Bright Eyes is a band consisting mainly of American singer-songwriter/guitarist Conor Oberst. Bright Eyes also features multi-instrumentalist/producer Mike Mogis, keyboard player Nate Walcott and a rotating lineup of collaborators drawn primarily from Omaha, Nebraska, United States’ indie music scene.
After going solo Conor Oberst rejoined the band last year, releasing a one off track in aid of charity. Deciding that the old chemistry had returned, Bright Eyes began working on their first album together in almost three years, their 10th studio album.
Released today...
Ham Sandwich is an Irish indie rock band from Kells, County Meath, Republic of Ireland.
The band consists of Niamh Farrell on vocals, Podge McNamee on vocals and guitar, Darcy on guitar and piano, and Ollie Murphy on drums.
Initially, the band’s name attracted more attention than the music. However, as Ham Sandwich became established, the name increasingly became an irreverance, and the music took precedence.
The band have steadily built upon a devoted following in the Irish alternative music scene, and have been noted for their incendiary live performances at venues such as Whelans in Dublin. In addition to their reputation as one of Ireland’s best live rock acts, Ham Sandwich have released a number of critically acclaimed singles and EPs; which have been distinguished by the consistent quality of all the songs contained therein.
