Hailing from Cork, Ireland, and fronted by Iona Lynch, 4-piece band Cliffords deal in a melody-rich, guitar-heavy merging of shoegaze and timeless pop, all widescreen and cinematic in their scale and approach. Iona\u2019s vocals, unrestrained and almost feral, arrowed above and beyond the sweatbox venues that Cliffords are sure to be filling over the next twelve months.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band have just completed their first headline tour of the UK, announced their second run of UK + Ireland shows and will be appearing at a raft of festivals across the UK (and into Europe) throughout the Summer including Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Latitude and TRNSMT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA group destined to do something big\u201d NME<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the sound of a band on the cusp of greatness\u201d Rolling Stone<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
