Raglans to play Hare & Hounds Birmingham

Irish indie-folk four-piece Raglans have undergone a meteoric rise in popularity since their inception in 2010, going from a crowd pleasing, gig-opening favourite at Dublin’s Whelan’s hotspot to garnering widespread recognition across the UK.

The Long Live EP released in 2012 was bolstered by a collection of enthralling videos, but ultimately it was the EP’s standout ‘Digging Holes’, that started to get band recognition. The infectious single won widespread acclaim throughout the blogging world and forced their name as serious contenders amongst indie counterparts throughout 2013, winning them supports with the likes of The Courteeners and HAIM.

Raglans return in 2014 with the release their self-titled debut album, due out in March via Independent Records. Raglans, as an LP, encompasses the grouped vocals of The Lumineers, the multi-intrumentalist efforts of Of Monsters And Men, whilst highlighting the substantial post-punk camaraderie circa The Libertines. Raglans are now preparing to promote the album, setting off to support fellow bluesy wunderkinds The Strypes on a huge nationwide tour of the UK, followed by a string of headline UK dates in April, calling at Birmingham Hare & Hounds on Tues 15th.
