Pebbledash

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, Far Out, District Magazine, and Golden Plec. Cementing their status as a favourite of So Young 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.
