On August 22nd HERM release the new single "Year Of The Horse", a ballad which features a duet with the wonderful Nina Hynes.
This is the second single from HERM's debut album "MONSTERS", which has received some lovely 4 star reviews from the likes of Connected, Hot Press, Cluas and Metro Ireland.
Earlier this year, "The Year Of The Horse" received an Honourable Mention in the prestigious International Song Contest, whose judges included Robert Smith of The Cure, Ray Davies of The Kinks and Tom Waits. The B-Side track, "For Keeps", is also a duet - this time featuring Bennie Reilly of Little Xs For Eyes.
HERM & The Hermanos will be launching their single Upstairs in Whelan's on August 22nd, with support from Patrick Freyne and Groom, and there are two double passes up for grabs for the show along with a copy of the single.
