These South Armagh-bred guitar-slingers have been earning their stripes and setting the live scene alight for the last year. One of the North’s hardest working acts, a few months ago they trimmed down to a power trio, embraced their pop-rock side and now sound like a band reborn. Their impossibly catchy, chart-bothering tracks have made them firm favourites on 2fm, Today FM and the BBC, and if they’ve more tunes like current single ‘Money’ in their locker, you can bank on Brother Vice having a banger of a year.

Hear: ‘Money’.
