Lord Jane

Lord Jane represent the exact moment experience stops being baggage and becomes white-knuckle traction. Comprising veterans of some of Belfast’s most pacesetting outfits - Mob Wife, Wohn, Ferals, Big Daisy - the band is less a supergroup and more its own organism: vital by instinct, locked-in by design, precision-built, unmistakably collective.

Released in late 2025, The Lifting of the Fog EP landed hard because it refused the easy exit of shallow catharsis. The “fog” is depression, yes, yet also that wider loss of control that seeps in through headlines and through bodies. Lord Jane don’t romanticise it: they score it. They move through it with groove as an engine and lyric as a pressure point, Clodágh May’s voice holding the centre while the interplay does the heavy lifting: vice-tight and alive to every micro-shift. On stage, the record’s live-room philosophy erupts into something radiant and force-field intense.

Catch them at the right time and it won’t just be a performance. It might be a lifeline.
