YARD

Another of the Irish acts heading to Eurosonic, these Dublin purveyors of scabrous electro noise take their cues from the likes of SUUNS, Gilla Band, Death Grips and Nine Inch Nails, but demonstrate on the likes of 'ECDYSIS', 'Lawmaker' and 'Auto Erotic' that they also have their own alt-techno thing going on. Signed to the same FMLY live agency as Hercules & Love Affair and Dutch Uncles, they gave Shame a serious run for their backstage rider last year in the Button Factory and were no less in-yer-face at Electric Picnic.

Hear: The bangin' 'ECDYSIS' which features regular collaborator Lauren Hannan, AKA Belfast producer YinYang.

Watch: The hypnotic live video for 'Lawmaker', which includes a cameo from their eerie Bucketman mascot.
