Profiles

Top 10 best southern rock bands


Southern are a brother and sister duo from Belfast, Northern Ireland, playing a mixture of blues, alternative rock and pop. Music became Thom's sole focus from the age of 16, when he started busking on the streets of Belfast. Lucy joined him a few years later and the two set out to make their mark on their home town. The band was championed by BBC Radio Ulster's Gerry Anderson who described them as "the most promising singer/songwriters in Ireland today."

Thom & Lucy were signed to London-based record label, Marathon Artists, in 2013 and were immediately picked up as The Guardian's New Band of the Day. Southern have since gone on to support Bastille, Jake Bugg, and Catfish and the Bottlemen.
