Another North / South showcase from the State & AU camps. Escape Act are an absorbingly upbeat pop-rock trio from Belfast. Reinforced by lyrical smarts, stage outings that electrify and creative promotional tactics, the three-piece continue on a steady upward trajectory, with BBC DJ Steve Lamacq amongst others championing their cause. The Rags are set to release their debut album of energised punk and rock this summer, having established themselves with their early singles ‘Monsters & I’ and ‘Razors And Ropes’. John Shelly & The Creatures are one of the newest names on the Northern scene, already having provided the soundtrack to the latest Discover Northern Ireland campaign. Plus State DJs till late.
