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: MYSECONDLIFE, THE PSYCHS, BAZOOKAFISH, PINWHEEL

MYSECONDLIFE from Cork manages to combine the absurd lyricism of Viagra Boys with the pop sensibilities of The Cure, all wrapped up and delivered through the raw explosive energy of the Pixies.

THE PSYCHS are a 5-piece Dublin-based alternative rock band that combine the sonics of 90's industrial and early 00's nu-metal, and combine them with contemporary rock to create a fresh yet nostalgic sound.

BAZOOKAFISH is a 5-Piece Alternative Rock Band based in Cork City that combine beautiful melodies with punchy riffs and explosive drums. Their sound offers a wide array of styles and influences that audiences are bound to latch onto. From Midwest Emo to Post Rock, Pop Rock to Blues and Prog, Bazookafish always keeps the crowd engaged and waiting to see what’s next.

PINWHEEL is our first wildcard pick this year! Our host Aidan in particular thought they stood out and deserved a place in the semi finals. There are a 5-piece alternative rock band hailing from the outskirts of Cork City. Formed in 2025, they've been hitting the scene with a mix of Shoegaze, Blues and Indie. If you love music, you'll love Pinwheel.
