The garage-rock revival led by the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys and The Libertines may be long gone, but this young band from Dublin are being including as one of the best new bands to see at this moment

Otherkin are a quartet that makes no-nonsense, two-to-three-minute garage rock/punk tracks born for rock radio. If this were 2004, they’d be gracing the cover of every rock zine. Otherkin released their mouth-watering debut album, OK, via Rubyworks last year, and hopefully 2018 is the year the ‘Kin play in the states. They’re in their true element when they play live, particularly frontman Luke Reilly, who’s one of the finest crowd-surfers you’ll ever see.

Indie four-piece OTHERKIN go 0 to 100 on their first single of 2016. Recorded in a shack outside of their native Dublin, “I Was Born” will feature on the band’s forthcoming EP, The New Vice. Driven by energetic riffs and euphoric, sing-along vocals (“It’s alright!/It’s okay!”), this high-octane chugger is best listened to while cruising along the freeway – windows rolled down, volume cranked up.

Dublin based ‘Grunge Pop’ band Otherkin wear the influences pretty obviously on their sleeves, vocalist David Anthonys swagger bares instant similarities to Julian Casablancas but writing them off as a Strokes rip-off would be unfair. Tight guitar riffs, catchy baselines and earworm choruses show skill and insight beyond their years.

This young band from Dublin doesn’t seem the slightest bit concerned. Otherkin are a quartet that makes no-nonsense, two-to-three-minute garage rock/punk tracks born for rock radio.
