The Mercadonnas

Rock // Carlow, Carlow

'Carlow-based The Mercadonnas' debut track 'Céad Míle Fáilte' fuses Grian Chatten-style post-punk vocals with modern synth-pop pop sensibilities, as dramatic synthscapes and crushing distorted guitars buttress this cutting account of the country’s recent relationship with migration.' Hot Press Magazine (IRE)

‘... a brooding post-punk belter’
Mystic Sons (UK)

‘The Mercadonnas hit hard for their debut. This first single, with post-punk accents, breathes Irish identity while offering a universal message, the aggressiveness of the riffs is combined with an introspective and sensitive writing'
Iggy Magazine (FRA)

…the song manages to put issues on the table and encourage reflection, in addition to being a rock piece that can be enjoyed at full volume, sung, chanted and, above all, felt.
