Factions were a Dublin based band who released their debut E.P. 'Looms' in 2012.
“A Dublin act with a hankering for widescreen moody rock with electro and ambient swirls in the wash,” - Jim Carroll (The Ticket, Irish Times, May 2012)
"This band is all about lead singer, whose look is as strong as her vocals," - 5 Stars ***** - Alice Stands - MRU Online
"Factions - I'm really loving this band. Big hopes for the Irish natives," - Polly Beans
"The sheer sound of this band is astonishing," - Mark Dillon - College Times
Factions also played on the 2FM Hegarty Sessions. They played at Knockanstockan and Electric Picnic in 2012. They supported Kopek on the last date of their European Tour in Whelans on the 29th of November 2012. A 5-year licensing and publishing deal with LA based Manimal Vinyl (Warpaint, Bat for Lashes) was being negotiated in 2011.
They were awarded best Alternative/Rock act in the 2012 MRU awards
