Dublin's Hope Collective
Following their recent packed-out first EU and UK headline tour, Dead Pioneers, the Indigenous fronted band from Denver, are now preparing to unleash their third album ‘Wagon Burner’, set for release June 26th via Hassle Records as well as coming to Ireland for 2 dates in July

It will put a smile on your face and you might even look for some Accidents to Happen in your record collection after listening to these 2 tracks
