Their music has been featured on Radio 1 and on Radio X in the UK and their first single was nominated for a Choice Music Prize in Ireland. Ahead of their gigs at this year's Great Escape Festival in Brighton in May we speak to Luke Reilly from Dublin band Otherkin.

Luke tells us how the band got together, fills us in on their "straight in no kissing" attitude and talks about their music masterplan.
