OTHERKIN
After a couple of hand-made, self-released tracks, new Dublin band OTHERKIN hit their stride with the rambunctious grunge-pop single “Ay Ay”, which came to the attention of leading Irish indie label Rubyworks in early 2015. It was followed by brilliant performances at Reading, Leeds, Latitude, Longitude, Eurockennes, Lowlands, Isle Of Wight festivals.
‘The 201’ EP – featuring “Ay Ay” and “Feel It” – was a quartet of quivering, shivering thumpers released to coincide with their UK festival debut at Leeds / Reading and their first full-length UK tour. Radio exposure came courtesy of support from Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 and John Kennedy on Radio X, while MTV Rocks added videos for both songs into their new music playlists.
‘The New Vice’ EP, which was recorded in Dublin, and mixed in the UK by Jolyon Thomas (Slaves) features “I Was Born” and “Yeah I Know”; the former quickly raced to 100,000 listens on Soundcloud, and enjoyed daytime support from Clara Amfo at BBC Radio.
1.OTHERKIN are currently preparing for a worldwide tour in support of their debut album “OK”, which is released on Rubyworks on 29 September 2017.
CLASH MAGAZINE
‘Matching feral grunge riffs to uproarious, hugely infectious songwriting, new single ‘Ay Ay’ is nothing less than a total banger.
‘NME MAGAZINE – LATITUDE TOP 10 PERFORMANCES
‘Irish rockers Otherkin were another highlight. The band had only arrived off the ferry from Dublin the same morning, but provided a ferocious show… infectious anthems’.
THE INDEPENDENT, UK
‘Basically they’re just a big mass of energy – four guys who write hugely infectious tracks with rough, snarling vocals and grunge riffs.
‘THE GUARDIAN, UK, Live Review
‘Blistering Dublin garage punks Otherkin play the tent as if it is Madison Square Garden.
‘CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
‘Despite its title, “Bad Advice” certainly feels like a good time. It’s a hook-filled thrasher that blends the attitude of The Clash with the peppier pop-leaning moments of earlier The Libertines’
