We picked them for one of our Top Picks for Sunflower Fest 2014, and now they’ve been chosen as one of our #NIMusic tunes for the summer. R51 have recently won a place in the Oh Yeah Centre‘s ‘Scratch My Progress’ scheme so will be up to all kinds of antics in the very near future. They’ve also just done a fancy photo-shoot with everyone’s favourite photographer Carrie Davenport.

Here’s their track Slowhound in all of its shoe-gaze, dream pop glory.

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 30 years old and have a degree in Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
