Alternative Ireland by SoundCloud Stories
published on
Ever since millions of Irish people began emigrating from the island in the late 19th and early 20th century, their musicianship and creativity has rippled across the world. By the 1990s, the crossover of traditional Irish music, New Age and alternative rock saw an explosion of artists — from The Pogues and U2, to Sinead O’Connor, The Cranberries and My Bloody Valentine — whose influence is felt in today’s scene. Dive into this collection of alternative Irish music — featuring Fontaines D.C., Gurriers, NewDad and more — and discover how they're merging shoegaze, alt rock, post-punk and more with Irish stories, language and instrumentation.
