49th & Main: The biggest Irish band you've never heard of

Despite selling out international tours and playing at Glastonbury, 49th & Main have yet to make their mark in the Irish charts. They plan on changing that 

49th and Main: Ben O'Sullivan and Paddy King.

In 2019, Ben O’Sullivan and Paddy King finally joined forces to make music after toying with the idea for years. Friends from school, the tone shifted at 49th & Main, the intersection they lived on in Vancouver at the time. 

There, slowly but surely, the Kilkenny duo started to become the clear-eyed, genre-bending guerrilla duo they are today. Six years later, the project has largely succeeded: a sold-out North American tour, dates for Australia, a buzzy debut album, and a stage presence most would kill for, the pair have travelled far on razor-sharp bars and dreamy, harmonising beats.
