Good timezone, everyone. Episode 021 of Direct Current airs on @dublindigitalradio.bsky.social at 11am. There is a heavy sense of loss hanging over this episode. If I don't sound like myself, that's why. Part of this one acts as our tribute to Vincent Belorgey. You may know him as Kavinsky.

Direct Current 06.07.26 Now Playing PUP - Totally Fine We're in the recovery stage after a raucous Sheffield headliner from this Toronto band last night, so let's go straight in with one from them! 🐶

Good timezone everyone! Getting well out in front of the show going out on @dublindigitalradio.bsky.social on Monday morning at 11am because we'll be in Sheffield (having seen PUP! OMG!) when it airs! Episode 020 coming down the tracks, featuring a rare case of us finding time for an extra song!

Direct Current 08.06.26 ⚡ Now Playing SIDE ONE, TRACK ONE 💿 The Wonder Years - Came Out Swinging The Philadelphia titans' third album Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing turns fifteen next week, and we're kicking the door down to start Year Five 🎂

Good timezone, everyone! Today marks the start of our fifth year here at @dublindigitalradio.bsky.social, and Episode 019 airs at 11am; how about a new feature to start? You bet we're coming out swinging with two totemic album openers (Side One, Track Ones) from The Wonder Years and @blocparty.com.

Direct Current 11.05.26 🐰 Now Playing Muse - New Born Specifically the 20th anniversary remix/remaster of the song! We've been rediscovering this Devon band recently and forgot that existed. Origin of Symmetry is 25 years old next month (we know) so let's kick the door down to start, yeah? 🟠

Good timezone, everyone. Episode 018 of Direct Current airs on @dublindigitalradio.bsky.social at 11am - fair warning, I fried my voice at The Twilight Sad at the Button Factory on Saturday so sound a fair bit different this month! We power up with Muse and close out with Father John Misty.

Direct Current 13.04.26 Now Playing 🎶 Enter Shikari - System... Meltdown 💿 A Flash Flood of Colour (2012) Straight in there. You know we had to - powering up today with two from Enter Shikari, who are set to storm the Academy next Tuesday. It is sold out AS HELL but you'd expect that 📉

Good timezone, carbon-based lifeforms! Episode 017 of Direct Current airs on @dublindigitalradio.bsky.social at 11am, powering up with Enter Shikari - got a lot of love for the St. Albans band; their new album was surprise dropped on Friday so you'll hear us popping off! New music inbound too!

This is an absolutely fucking BALLER move. Here at Direct Current we say FUCK ICE with our whole chest and Cheekface say the same. Only ice we like is in our coffee sometimes.

So a couple weeks ago a casting agency reached out to us wanting to cast a “credible, tight-knit band” for an ad, but didn’t tell us who the ad was for. Turned out they liked us … but then they revealed it was an ad for AT&T, which is one of ICE’s big contractors. So we said no.

All These Things That I've Done found dead in a ditch Incredible new record from @cheekface.bsky.social is on the way 😈
