IRELAND’S LIVE MUSIC SCENE
Your front row seat to discovering Ireland’s best new artists.
Dublin four-piece Dog Swim are Near the Noise’s first Artist of the Month.
After discovering them online and catching them live at The Grand Social, we knew they had something special - blending hazy guitars, heartfelt lyrics and a raw, unforced stage presence.
We caught up with Freya, Ollie, Alex and Mel to talk beginnings, influences, touring Ireland, and what’s next for the band.
ARTIST OF THE MONTH
BEHIND THE NOISE
Near the Noise is a Belfast based music blog at the beginning of its journey.
Through gig reviews, interviews, and behind the scenes content, the goal is to highlight emerging artists, local venues, and the stories that unfold around live shows.
Our latest playlist celebrates the Irish tracks that defined our year - from breakout debuts to underground gems that deserve more noise.
Featuring: Amy Michelle, Anna’s Number, The Davids & more.
