Mix: An Introduction to New Artists #14

Here's another batch of new bands who've made themselves known to me over the last few days!

Tujacques  http://tujacques.bandcamp.com/

Tujacques are based in Dublin, Ireland and their music is tagged as alternative with twists of punk, gospel, Americana, roots and alt.country. The musicians of Tujacques (pronounced 'two-jacks') include Matthew Causey, originally from Louisiana, on guitar, keyboards and vocals. Matthew Nolan, who is co-founder, composer and guitarist for Dublin’s 3epkano, plays bass. Bryan 0’Connell of Si Schroeder fame plays drums and singer-songwriter Rhiannon Clark, adds backing vocals. The band are lauching the album at the Workman's Club on 12 July.

This song is amazing!

Princess http://thatsoprincess.bandcamp.com/

The final band in this mix is Dublin alternative band 'Princess'. Their fuzzy electric sound harks back to Dinosaur Jr. days which isn't a bad thing in my book!
