    We're a six piece band from the Buncrana area who play mostly indie rock music although we also have a more mellow acoustic side. We've recently headlined the Glasshouse acoustic stage at Vantastival performing as a two/three piece and we also supported Feeder at the Buncrana Music Festival when we rocked out as a full six piece. We had our debut EP launch in a local bar last night and we also found out that we had peaked at #20 in the Irish iTunes chart!


    You can listen to our EP here - https://www.hotpress.com/music/dont-fear-natives-release-cracking-debut-ep-stupid-heart-22750128

    You guys would honestly be better off doing Jazz, your music is already pretty Jazzy and this whole Indie Rock thing doesn't suit your vocals IMO..

    Jazz?! Have you actually listened to the EP or did you just hear the first track? The rest of the EP is much more chilled acoustic stuff but we generally play indie rock/punk pop original stuff. I'm not even sure anyone else in the band (including me) actually likes jazz :D
