    Katie Kim has really impressed me especially her last album "Salt", beautiful stuff!

    Another new comer who has been taking bloody ages to get stuff out there (only just released an EP, I originally saw her live in Sligo back in 2015) is Maria Somerville who is very talented and someone I'll be keeping a close eye on.
    There's Maria Kelly as well, from Mayo.
    Gave "Eyes Don't See It" a listen, nice and sparse.

    I voted two door cinema club because they were sooo good when they started out, still love the first album a lot. But after that they... well....hmmm... not so great in my opinion, to be polite.
    Sorry I don’t know a few of the others, the academic would be my second choice.

    Villagers or Little Green Cars for me, from that list. Was sad to see Little Green Cars split up recently, hope they'll get back together in future.
    Quite like Hozier and Soak as well.
    Also not on the list but I like Dublin band Sleep Thieves and Cork band Young Wonder, though they latter seems to have disappeared after just one album a few years ago.

    Of the rest:
    I know one song by Dermot Kennedy that was alright but didn't really inspire me to listen to more. Ditto for Walking on Cars.
    Picture This, Kodaline, Gavin James, Le Galaxie and The Academic don't do much for me.
    I can respect James Vincent McMurrow but I'm really not a fan of his voice.
    Haven't really listened to the others.

    I can't believe no one mentioned the Rubberbandits ? I'm not even from Limerick and I reckon their great.

    The way that Hozier babbles on in that church song you'd think he was born illegitimate and dumped in an industrial school at birth, another privileged South Dublin/Wicklow bellend a la Geldof.

    His biggest stress growing up was deciding which ski resort to go to.

    He's never heard of a good cause he couldn't milk

    That's the problem you need to be literally hungry to make good art

    Your life depends on it

    All these acts now you can just hear the comfortable safety net behind them in their whinging lyrics

    They have nothing to say

    Quite bizarre considering commercial radio's constant promotion of Picture This who's new album could only peak at #54 in the UK.

    BBC6 Music, can hardly get away from the fookers at the minute

    I vote Nathan Carter by the way

    Haven't listened to much Irish stuff sadly.

    Good Stuff: Solar Bears, Katie Kim, Cubs, The Gloaming, Fontaines DC, The Would Be's comeback but my fav is Hannah Peel & all the wonderful stuff she's popped up on.

    Terrible stuff: Hozier, Vincent James Mcmorrow, Kodaline, Picture This.

    The sound of this decade though for most Irish people was Nathan Carter, Avicii & Ed Shearan which cocks a snook at the silly notion of how liberal & trendy we are now.

    He emerged in the 00s. This thread is about acts who emerged in the 10s.

    "Sweet Jelly Roll" is a tune.

    I went for the ones I thought were the most widely known. Artists who became well known before 2010, such as The Coronas or the Script, were not eligible. Some of these acts (e.g. Villagers) released singles in the late 00s, but didn't get signed/release an album until the 10s.

    Gavin James material gets so much airplay on Irish radio. For me he’s really bland. Just filling up the 20% Irish music quota.
    No decent radio friendly Irish musicians for the last decade really. He’s the least worst option.

    Wild youth sound promising so far.

    The irish Ed Sheeran...bland mediocre and for people whose musical level/knowledge is the x factor

    Have seen no mention of Vulpynes on here so far. Great two-piece I was lucky enough to see at a small gig over a year ago.

    The poor performance of the Picture This album in the UK in comparison to the FDC one was pointed out in this article.

    Walking on Cars and Gavin James haven't had a top 10 UK album either.

    "You'll never hear Fontaines DC on daytime radio"
    2FM is playing Boys in a Better Land quite a bit now.
