Heathers

Making the move from the underground to the mainstream can be a precarious journey, often exposing shortcomings in an artist and narrow mindedness in their peers and original listeners. Heathers, it seems, have little concern for such potential problems. Having cut their teeth on the Irish DIY scene centred around the Hideaway House and released a pleasant, stripped down debut album, Kingdom finds them embracing the opportunity to make a bigger budget follow up with gusto. Whatever we expected from Ellie and Louise MacNamara, it’s safe to say that this exceeds it and then some.
