Cork five-piece Cardinals release new single ‘Get It‘, their first material since their debut EP landed at the start of the summer on So Young Records. Already a live favourite, the band recorded ‘Get It’ with Chris Ryan (Just Mustard, NewDad, Robocobra Quartet) at his Belfast studio earlier this year with their frontman Euan Manning having the following to say about the themes behind the track:
“To me it’s a song about reflection, looking at what went wrong but also at what went right. The worst and the best. Its climax crowns love as an overwhelmingly positive force, whichever type of love that may be. It’s a change of pace for us and definitely feels like a bridging moment for what’s to come next.”
The band have already seen enviable support from Fontaines D.C.‘s Grian Chatten, who called them “one of my favourite new bands” during an interview with BBC Radio 1, and only last month Kneecap named the group as one of the artists from Ireland they’re most excited about during an interview with the NME. Following a string of sold-out dates across 2024 in the UK and at home in Ireland, the band have a busy live schedule ahead. This includes a performance at Pitchfork London in November, followed by a support stint with New York’s Been Stellar across the UK, dates in Ireland and then the band’s first trip to New York for headline shows in December. Cardinals have also added an intimate London headliner for 4 November, performing at Third Man.
