Garageland. Volume 1 It's taken over 17 years but Garageland have finally announced details of their much awaited compilation album out on Garage Records on April 14th. Since 2001 Garageland has been helping generations of bands through unique projects The Garage Gigs and The Irish Youth Music Awards (including The Script, Ham Sandwich, Delorentos, Kodaline, Niamh Crowther, Fight Like Apes, Royseven, The Immediate and literally thousands of others you haven't heard of) forge their own trail through the formative stages of the careers. Some have gone on to huge things, some haven't. "Rather than focus on the past, with this record we're looking at what's around now and the next generation of artists who are coming up and we are genuinely excited about." Dermot Lambert, Garageland Director. Featured on the album are Roisin El Cherif, Rob Corcoran, The Klares, Niamh Crowther, Swordfish, Pills For My Nerves, Animal Gangs, Dissesion Rising, Fuzz Gigolo, Inhaler, Key, Lavelle, Shag Haired Villains, Conor Walsh, The New 52 and The YaYa

Garageland in association with IMRO, Hot Press Magazine, RTE 2XM, IRMA and RAAP has confirmed the brand new series of The Garage Gigs for Spring 2017. Re-launched in 2016 with a brand new format for staging shows for emerging artists, The Garage Gigs hosted 28 shows in Dublin and London featuring over 90 new acts. The success of the series, which saw the development of several media and strategic partnerships, including a flagship live radio show on RTE 2XM Radio, has led to a huge demand by artists to appear on the shows. It's estimated that there will be at least 50 Garage Gigs staged in 2017 across Ireland and The UK as new artists and venues subscribe to the service. In the 16 years since the very first Garage Gig, we have hosted shows for over 5,000 fledgling acts, including The Script, Villagers, Kodaline, Delorentos, Ham Sandwich, Ryan Sheridan, Fight Like Apes, Niamh Crowther and many more. The Spring series will

Sunday 4th December The Sound House Eden Quay - The FINAL Garage Gig of 2016! After a spectacular comeback, Including a total relaunch of The Garage Gigs, a brand new interactive website AND a Radio Show on RTE 2Xm, we prepare to wave goodbye to this astonishing year with one blistering FINAL SHOW!
