Scustin

IF you locked Blindboy Boatclub, Jamiroquai and Mike Skinner into a studio after a boozy night out together, what music would they come with? Scustin is the answer. The Post-Funk outfit creates by blending humorous storytelling with a jazzy funk take on indie rock. 

In a couple of years, Scustin have quickly become renowned for their interactive, high energy live show and have scored shows at All Together Now and Electric Picnic.

Scustin play live at The Record Room on Friday March 31.

Dylan Flynn 

LIMROCKERS Dylan Flynn & The Dead Poets have made  a captivating live video for the politically charged anthem ‘nowhere to live’ on release this week (6pm Wednesday). Its an angry tirade platforming the band’s frustrations with the housing crisis and living in a country that completely ignores them.. 

The track is from the new album ‘ ‘how are you feeling today?’ which came out this month.

This live performance video was filmed on top of a carpark in the heart of Limerick City. Dylan Flynn & The Dead Poets play Dolans for Seoda Shows on April 7.
