2025 marked a watershed moment for Pebbledash when their evocative track “Carraig Aonair” was featured in Netflix’s acclaimed series House Of Guinness, created by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders). Reflecting on the honour, vocalist Asha shared, “Netflix introduced subtitles as Gaeilge for the first time with the release of 'House of Guinness,' and the fact that this song was even just a part of such a beautiful milestone is my proudest achievement so far.” The exposure catapulted the band’s reach, with “Carraig Aonair” amassing over 180,000 streams on Spotify.
Demonstrating relentless creative momentum, Pebbledash delivered a prolific year of releases. Their EP Four Portraits Of The Same Ugly House, released in January, has racked up 62,000 Spotify streams, while their latest project, To Cast The Sea In Concrete, launched in November, has already surpassed 115,000 streams and continues to climb. Summer singles “Asha’s Waltz” and “Cartography” garnered a combined 90,000 Spotify streams, further cementing the band’s reputation for innovative songwriting and immersive soundscapes.
The band’s impressive catalogue has secured them placements on 20 Spotify editorial playlists, widespread critical acclaim from leading music media, and a feature as Emily Pilbeam’s 5B46 DJs on BBC Radio 6 in July. Their haunting live show, showcased during the Of Seaweed and Sandstone Tour, began with a triumphant hometown performance at Cyprus Avenue in Cork, followed by a sold-out night at Curveball in Dublin. The tour continued with lauded shows at London’s Servants Jazz Quarters, Manchester’s Castle Hotel, and culminated at The Attic in Leeds.
2025 proved to be a landmark year for Pebbledash, with appearances at premier European festivals such as Left Of The Dial in Rotterdam and They’re Gonna Be Big Festival in Paris.
