Cardinals plus The Marra & Hypnic Jerk | All Kinds of Everything
Date: 5 April 2026
Venue: Nerve Centre, 7-8 Magazine Street, Derry~Londonderry, Derry~Londonderry, BT48 6HJ
Cardinals, the 'next great guitar band from Ireland' according to Rolling Stone magazine, will play the closing night of All Kinds of Everything.
With support from The Marra and Hypnic Jerk.
Championed by Grian Chatten, frontman of Fontaines D.C. as 'one of my favourite new bands' — a reference that carries serious weight worldwide — Cardinals began as a joke between three sixteen-year-olds: brothers Euan and Finn Mannings and their cousin Dara in a sleepy fishing village near Cork, Ireland's second city.
They started out making music that suited their age: simple, spiky post-punk. Soon, school friends Aaron and Oskar joined the fold, along with a widening range of influences: shoegaze, Irish folk, gothic metal, ragged Britpop and hip-hop. The result is melancholic indie rock with a warm heart.
Distinctive, and characteristically Irish, is the central role of the accordion. Their debut Masquerade (2026) confirms Cardinals' status as the 'next great guitar band from Ireland'.
