IRELAND’S LIVE MUSIC SCENE

Your front row seat to discovering Ireland’s best new artists.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH

:Panic :Over have always been part of our journey into the local music scene. They were one of the bands that got us hooked on going to local gigs in the first place.

Most recently, we caught them live again at Ulster Sports Club, supported by Dog Swim - our very first Near The Noise Artist of the Month - making this feature feel like a real full-circle moment.

We caught up with the Bangor based four-piece to chat all things :Panic :Over ahead of their live instore gig next week.

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.
