Hot Press - Hot for 2013

In our brand new issue of Hot Press, we've put together what we reckon is a definitive list of who's gonna make big noise this year.

Taking in both Irish and international artists, the list features exciting new acts who've got HP staff all a-fluster...

Today, we're revealing the first five - and we want you to have a look and a listen for yourself...

Click here for more on Derry teenage singer Soak, Cavan rhythm 'n' blues act The Strypes, Dublin rockers Gangs, Colorado folksters The Lumineers and uber-bearded country soulster Matthew E. White.

We'll reveal another five every day, so keep your eyes peeled on hotpress.com in the coming weeks!
