Digdeep
Digdeep are an exciting swamp noise, bog rock 6-piece from the swamps of Dublin, consisting of vocalist Mort Bogman, Saxophonist Patrick Coyle, Guitarist Leigh Warner, Bassist Peter Toal, synth player Lu and Drummer Zach Sheridan. After releasing their first EP entitled “Bog”, towards the end of 2024, the group have found their sound, driven by chaotic saxophone riffs, frenetic lyricism and hypnotizing bass lines, they elegantly blend raw emotion, atmosphere and melody influenced by post rock and punk with cathartic noise, leaving no stone unturned in the industries’ marshes. They performed a stunning main stage set at this year’s Whelan’s Ones To Watch in January.experimental music.
Bulbs
Bulbs are a brand new act who formed in late 2025. The band are made up of members from well known local acts such as Fizzy Orange, Blue Slate, Ten Hail Marys and Softdrink Millionaire.
Dose
Dose is a four-piece alternative rock band that emerged onto the Dublin music scene in October 2023. Since then, the band has swiftly gained traction, gracing esteemed venues such as The Button Factory and Whelan’s as well as being granted a coveted spot for Ireland Music Week 2024, Ones to Watch, and We’ve Only Just Begun. The band’s debut single ‘Cuckoo’ dropped in September 2024, to popular acclaim and secured a spot as 2FM The Alternative’s Track of the Week. The Goo described the track as “a fuzzy pitch shifting cross between shoegaze, coldwave with some post punk thrown in. Sung by The Roches and mixed by Eno.”—and predicted big things for Dose in 2025. Their second single, ‘Parallelogram’, was released in February 2025. Dose will be making their second appearance at Tilt having headlined the showcase event in The Button Factory at Tilt #34 in February 2024.
