As you probably know, we recently introduced a bonus ten-minute podcast, titled 'Éist10'. This podcast will crop up at various times throughout the year, with short interviews featuring our favorite new Irish acts!

Today we have David Allen from Dublin-based band HAL joining us...though you'd be forgiven for thinking these guys were resident on America's West Coast! Listen in to discover this wonderful 'Beach Boys-Phil Spector-sounding' band, and hear about this week's comeback gig at Dublin's Hard Working Class Heroes festival. What's more, the band has given us an exclusive track to play, from HAL's long-anticipated sophomore album ...and it's a gem of a song too!
