Pebbledash has rapidly established itself as one of the most compelling forces in contemporary
music, earning acclaim as both a captivating live act and a formidable presence in the studio.
The band’s meteoric rise has seen them garner widespread support from influential tastemakers
and media outlets, including BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X (X-Posure Hot One), NME (New
Bangers), RTÉ (online, 2FM), Clash, Dork, Hot Press, Nialler9, Psychedelic Baby Magazine,

Magazine, Pebbledash’s music has been featured among the publication’s Tracks of the Year
and highlighted during So Young’s celebrated live nights, including a dynamic UK tour alongside
Cardinals and Mên An Tol. Their distinct sound and artistic vision have also earned them
coveted spots on major Spotify Editorial playlists, such as New Music Friday UK, Fresh Folk,
The Indie List, Hot New Bands (cover artist), melomania, Breath of Fresh Eire, and Fresh
Finds to name a few.
2025 marked a watershed moment for Pebbledash when their evocative track “Carraig Aonair”
was featured in Netflix’s acclaimed series House Of Guinness, created by Steven Knight
(Peaky Blinders). Reflecting on the honour, vocalist Asha shared, “Netflix introduced subtitles as
Gaeilge for the first time with the release of 'House of Guinness,' and the fact that this song was
even just a part of such a beautiful milestone is my proudest achievement so far.” The exposure
catapulted the band’s reach, with “Carraig Aonair” amassing over 180,000 streams on Spotify.
Pebbledash delivered a prolific year of releases. Their EP Four Portraits Of The Same Ugly
House, released in January, has racked up 62,000 Spotify streams, while their latest project, To
Cast The Sea In Concrete, launched in November, has already surpassed 115,000 streams and
continues to climb. Summer singles “Asha’s Waltz” and “Cartography” garnered a combined
90,000 Spotify streams, further cementing the band’s reputation for innovative songwriting and
immersive soundscapes.
The band’s impressive catalogue has secured them placements on 20 Spotify editorial
playlists, widespread critical acclaim from leading music media, and a feature as Emily
Pilbeam’s 5B46 DJs on BBC Radio 6 in July. Their haunting live show, showcased during the
Of Seaweed and Sandstone Tour, began with a triumphant hometown performance at Cyprus
Avenue in Cork, followed by a sold-out night at Curveball in Dublin. The tour continued with
lauded shows at London’s Servants Jazz Quarters, Manchester’s Castle Hotel, and culminated
at The Attic in Leeds.
2025 proved to be a landmark year for Pebbledash, with appearances at premier European
festivals such as Left Of The Dial in Rotterdam and They’re Gonna Be Big Festival in Paris.
With no signs of slowing, Pebbledash has already played their first shows of 2026 which saw
them headlining We Will Folk You in Dunkirk, France, supporting Cardinals on their IRE Tour,
and Rage Sacreé Lorient and Rennes. With a slate of exciting performances and festival
appearances announced including Dot2Dot, Wanderlust, and supporting Babyshambles on
their Irish dates, 2026 is poised to be a momentous year for the band.
