Canadian-based, Irish singer-songwriter, Michael Darcy is thrilled to release his album ‘Down To The Roots’.
A collection of original material and traditional folk ballads, Darcy brings together familiar sounds with his band Michael Darcy & The Atlantic Tramps. Recorded by Aaron Comeau at The Trailer Studio in Toronto, ON, ‘Down To The Roots’ is Michael’s second full-length album. Drawing from the well of rich Irish music that he grew up with and also being inspired by gritty American songwriters like John Prine & Guy Clark, Michael’s songs bear the earthy tones of his Old Country roots, and the freshness of a newly cut path. Americana.
His songs place you into an almost musical trance, you just can’t stop listening to the stories as they take you away to another place.
The stand out tracks from ‘Down To The Roots’ are: “The Rambler From Clare”, “Mountain Soul”, and “The Ballad of Uncle Frank”.

Fredrik Saroea, best known as the frontman of the critically-acclaimed global disco punk outfit DATAROCK, the Norwegian multi-genre artist re-envisioned his recent solo album Rona Diaries (2021) as a live piece with award-winning string quartet BIT20 Ensemble, merging his contemplative indie rock with the exquisite air of a chamber orchestra. The new album – Rona Diaries: The Chamber Versions Live at Greig Hall, Bergen – out June 10 via YAP Records & SONY’s The Orchard, is available both digitally & on vinyl.

Recorded at the infamous Grieg Hall during Norway’s 69th annual Bergen International Festival (which took place on May 28, 2021), “Battered & Bruised” along with prior singles “Bergheim”, “Understatement Lovesong” – both exclusive to the new album – along with “Bulletproof Vest”, “A Matter of Dying” & “Heaven Knows Those Songs Weren’t Heaven Sent” as well as the other tracks from Rona Diaries were premiered to an unsuspecting public who were more familiar with his former band’s rhythmic brand of dance music.
Featured in “Best Of” lists from Rolling Stone to NME and headlining festivals from Coachella, Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds, Saroea’s other love DATAROCK impacted music scenes worldwide while also infiltrating both the video game market with inclusion in 4 different FIFA versions, 2 Sims, Need For Speed etc. and the commercial environ with ads for Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and Coca Cola. While their singles including the smash “Fa-Fa-Fa” cemented them as dance sensations, Saroea moonlighted as a restaurateur by opening world famous and Michelin-rated restaurants Lysverket and Hoggorm in Norway.
