Niamh Crowther on Garageland compilation

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 2000 Garageland has been helping a generation of bands (including Ham Sandwich, Delorentos, Ryan Sheridan, The Script, Kodaline, 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 Ashbourne singer Niamh Crowther, Roisin El Cherif, Rob Corcoran, The Klares, Swordfish, Pills For My Nerves, Animal Gangs, Dissesion Rising, Fuzz Gigolo, Inhaler, Key, The New 52, Lavelle, Shag Haired Villains, Conor Walsh and The YaYa Vuze.

The album is being launched with a special show in The Button Factory on April 13th featuring 9 of the artists from the album.
