"*With a scrappy DIY mantra at their heart, **Cardinals** are the next great band to emerge from Cork's burgeoning music scene. On their debut self-titled EP, released via SoYoung, the Cork group smash through that notion entirely. There’s brooding intensity to be found, but songs like ‘Unreal’ show a softer, more melodic touch that shows they’re a far more kaleidoscopic proposition than that. One thing that does unite them with those bands, however, is that they are a product of Cork’s burgeoning DIY scene. “We put on shows in places where you wouldn’t ordinarily do that and we could capitalise on that,” explains frontman Euan Manning*. This scrappy mantra makes it into the EP’s sound, however, and perfectly captures the sound of Cardinals in the here and now." - **Nick Reilly**, Rolling Stone
