Limerick act Anna's Anchor aka Marty Ryan and friends have just released second album Everybody's Welcome. It's a masterclass in what's proving to be a burgeoning Irish pop punk scene. Released on the UK independent label Failure By Design Records, the album was written in isolation in a cottage which Ryan rented for ten days over Christmas 2016/17 at Tragumna Beach in Cork. It deals with a plethora of heavy themes but it's also super catchy and will leave you wanting more.
