After a difficult end to last year, which saw the band having to cancel a series of gigs – Brighton included – due to mental health issues, the Dublin four-piece are back to rattle your bones with their live show, which revels in moments of brute force and furious sound.

Still celebrating the success of their 2015 math-rock repetitive and techno-influenced debut album, ‘Holding Hands With Jamie’, Girl Band can also boast an award-winning collaboration with the filmmaker Bob Gallagher for the ‘Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage’ music video – but be warned, it’s not for the faint of heart!
