Dublin quintet September Girls will be joined by Telegram next month for four co-headline shows in Liverpool, Glasgow, Birmingham and Oxford.



Telegram write things big, no doubt partly influenced by their tastes for Roxy Music and Television. Humming with the optimism and opulence of 70s rock, their debut LP Operator is a series of frenzied meditations on time and speed, steeped in sensitivity and strangeness. With fans including BBC 6 Music and Marc Riley, who recently chose them for his Album of the Day, Telegram are looking set for an exciting 2016.



September Girls recently released an impassioned musical and political statement in their new album Age of Indignation. The ten tracks bristle with atmospheric textures and dark-hearted noise, tackling complex subject matter such as feminism, religion and life in Ireland at this point in history along the way. Brutally honest and brilliantly realised, Age of Indignation is a masterful album from a band confident enough to leave their influences behind. Still retaining the swirling psychedelia and intensity of their debut, this time round they are tighter and more controlled, whilst underneath something much darker and urgent is at work. This is music at its most riveting and atmospheric.

Age of Indignation represents a bold step forwards for September Girls.... By letting their political frustration run away with them, they’ve carved out their own identity and worn it on their sleeves; the results are engrossing. The Line of Best Fit

Telegram look like a band who’ve travelled through a time tunnel to be here… aesthetically they’re as retro as their name ought to suggest. On their debut LP, they prove they have the sound to match, as they amalgamate elements of krautrock, proto-punk, glam and psych – and triumph in doing so. DIY Magazine
