Battle Of The Bands - Heat 6

Fred Zeppelins, Parliament St.

Wed 29th Jul, 8:00 pm

Get ready to rock! Fred Zeppelins Annual Battle of the Bands is back. We're excited to showcase some of the best talent that Cork and Ireland has to offer. Watch as these amazing bands battle it out for the top prize of €1000 and exhibit raw talent, immense stage presence and song writing excellence.

Featuring:

DESTROSSAT, THE SLUGS, BIG TOE

DESTROSSAT are by no means a "typical" band. Once described as an "ambient and melodic band with plenty of bad-ass undertones", Destrossat are a Post-Rock band with an agenda. Combining melodic, groove laden songs with heavy, angst ridden pieces, Destrossat have been called "The next awesome Irish Post-Rock Band".

THE SLUGS are a Cork-based four-piece delivering high-energy riff-driven alt-rock with a sharp emotional edge. Their sound fuses the grit and swagger of Queens of the Stone Age and the melodic punch of Catfish and the Bottlemen, creating a taut, livewire tension that defines their identity. Rapidly building momentum in the Cork live scene having earned a reputation for visceral, high-energy, The Slugs are emerging as one of the most exciting new acts in Ireland’s DIY scene.

BIG TOE from West Clare, are an original alternative rock band blending blues and some jazz flare. They recently took part in the Tipp Battle of the Bands placing fourth and frequently play gigs in their local music scene.
