This tour is massive, the excitement must be wild, what does it mean to you to be able to do this?
It’s what we’re always waiting to get back to on our time off to be honest. It’s the most amazing rollercoaster, there are so many highs and lows, so many amazing moments and then some days when it’s really hard. So much life is concentrated into those couple months you’re on tour and we can’t wait to get back to it. Starting the band off, that felt like a pipe dream and so for it to be possible now because of other people around the world who hear what we’re saying and feel the same way, it feels really, really good.
When you first started playing pubs in Drogheda, what was the goal?
Even as teenagers we always took the band seriously. We wanted to be a band that lasted and meant something to people and had something to say. It was prioritised over work and study and there was never really a time where it felt like a hobby. So that was in our heads when we started playing gigs around鈥�

Chalk stay on track with new single 'Velodrome'
Gemma Bradley
Presenter, ATL Introducing
Halloween is just around the corner and I’m feeling extra spooky after hearing the new Chalk release. They’ve really bared their souls with this, bringing a haunting punk and gothic nature to the track; it's a bit of me. Like a pesky poltergeist that won’t leave I’ve had it on repeat since the first listen.
It opens slowly with an immense sense of tension, giving the impression of impending dangerously delightful doom and danger. I love it. It has pulsating breakbeats, sirens, eerie guitars and raw vocals. I feel like Ross Cullen (vocalist) bore his soul on this track; and I’m here for it.

A gig in the Ulster Sports Club on a Tuesday? Say no more, I’m there.
It’s the first Tuesday of the month and I’m on a mission to find new music. The Ulster Sports Club has fashioned itself into quite the hotspot for new music. The venue still has the retro feel of the old Sports Club it once was only now it seems to be at the heart of the Belfast music scene. When you step inside the door you get hit with what can only be described as the USC’s own brand of unique perfume and a friendly hello from the bar staff.
Making my way upstairs I’m greeted by familiar Songbook regulars, we’ve all鈥�

This week Caolan Irvine and BoGriLZ made us want more with ‘Missing You’. It’s full of hooks, and an infectious bassline we can’t stop dancing to!
Electronic Dj and producer Caolan Irvine returns with a brand new single, ‘Missing You’. It’s the perfect dance floor moment! The track itself builds throughout with prominent keys, soaring vocals and intricate hooks. We love how BoGriLZ has put a different spin on the track through the remix, adding a lil extra flavour. ‘Missing You’ is the title track to Caolan’s brand new EP ‘Missing You’ - definitely worth a listen!
