"Roseland" by Cardinals: Tune of the Day

Cardinals' latest single, "Roseland" is our tune of the day. Hailing from the musical mecca of Ireland, this alt-rock sensation is making waves with their genre-defying sound and mature songwriting prowess.

Praised by The Sunday Times as "sensational," "Roseland" is a masterclass in blending rumbling bass, spiky post-punk, and Television-esque guitar riffs, all topped off with Euan Manning's deadpan vocals that rise to a Jarvis Cocker-esque yelp. It's a cacophony of influences that leaves listeners spellbound from start to finish.

But the accolades don't stop there. The Independent hails Cardinals as ones to watch in 2024, noting their ability to stand apart from their peers while earning their admiration. DIY Magazine praises their debut single as a fascinating sonic prospect, drawing comparisons to R.E.M. and The Pogues with a dash of Billy Joel's charm.

Following the success of "Roseland," Cardinals drop their much-anticipated follow-up, "Unreal." This energetic anthem, released on tastemaker label So Young, showcases the band's youthful exuberance and pop sensibility, proving that Cardinals are here to stay. Frontman Euan Manning describes "Unreal" as a nostalgic ode to warm days spent on Cork's beaches, crafted during his time living in a Ford Transit van. It's a testament to the band's ability to weave personal experiences into their music, creating a connection that resonates deeply with listeners.

With performances at SXSW and The Great Escape on the horizon, Cardinals are poised to conquer stages on both sides of the Atlantic. Don't miss your chance to catch them live on their UK & Ireland headline tour. Dive into the mesmerizing world of Cardinals, and let "Roseland" be the soundtrack to your day.
