BLOWTORCH RECORDS
A BOUTIQUE IRISH RECORD LABEL FOR BANDS OF DISTINCTION
Latest Releases
Track of the week - STRAND Progress
In a very meta and self manifesting move, Dublin power pop four piece Soundstrand have renamed to STRAND and released their first single under the new name - Progress.
​
As they say "...Progress is a song about changing places, people and times." Self evidently but there is more going on here. While retaining their knack of writing melodic, hooky guitar pop, the sound has matured into something a little darker on this release with the lyrics more reflective.
To keep up to date with what's happening in Irish punk, post punk, psych, motorik and electronica follow our Blowtorch Records' 'Gas It Up' Spotify playlist.
