Dundalk band Third Smoke recently released the video for their latest single ‘Ms Summer Breeze’.
The group, who will perform at the Electric Picnic Festival in Stradbally, Co Laois next month, are set to release an EP this November.
‘Ms Summer Breeze’ is a stepping stone to the EP release with the video having received good reviews since its release. The stop motion masterpiece delves into the inner psyche of the working man. Trapped in the minutia of corporate life, the protagonist is engrossed by a constant search of escapism.
In May, ‘Ms Summer Breeze’ won the Emerging Talent Competition on RTÉ Radio 1’s The John Murray Show, having been chosen from a list of thousands of entrants.
This win awarded the band with a national television performance on RTÉ’s The Saturday Night Show. The song has received raving reviews, being described as “a stomping pop tune performed with passion and style that marks them out as yet another homegrown name to keep an eye on”.
The video for ‘Ms Summer Breeze’ comes amidst a busy summer of live dates for Third Smoke. Having already wowed the patrons of Longitude and Le Cheile Arts and Music Festival, the band are billed to appear at Electric Picnic next month. They also made their Olympia Theatre debut, supporting Ham Sandwich, and played with Glen Hansard and Lisa O’Neill at a sold out Spirit Store gig.
