Embrace, McGrath and Pihka Is My Name x IanGX all with new music!

About this episode

This episode features new music from Embrace, McGrath, and Pihka Is My Name x IanGX, showcasing diverse musical styles.

Ready for a musical journey! All three of this weeks featured acts have very different musical styles but all have one thing in common, they're bloody awesome. Switch on, lock in, this is some of the good stuff... Embrace: 30 years making music has not dulled the flame for Embrace. ‘Avalanche’ is an album brimming with a confidence that only 3 decades of mastery can bring. It somehow manages to push the bands sound to a fresh new place whilst being quintessentially “Embrace” at the same time. McGrath : Stunning songwriting with a traditional Irish heart its almost impossible to think that 'Rotha', given how accomplished it is, is the debut song from this young talent. It's got us suitably excited about what is to come. Pihka Is My Name x IanGX: Pinka's scandi disco pop layers brilliantly with the rock-inspired vocals of IanGX ( Katalina Kicks / Amongst Liars ) to create something somewhere between Talking Heads, Marilyn Manson and 30 Seconds To Mars. Ridiculously infectious and a tune to whet the appetite for further collaborations! Other useful links... Find and follow Freshly Squeezed on X , Instagram and Tik Tok .
