Tebi Rex.

A wildly innovative hip-hop duo from County Kildare, Tebi Rex have been making an impact across the Irish music scene ever since they arrived in 2017. Their debut album The Young Will Eat The Old  (Greek mythology retold through celebrity culture) was lauded as one of the domestic releases of the year. The inclusion of ‘I Never Got Off The Bus’ on the soundtrack for global hit TV series Normal People set up the album nicely, bringing their music to a wider audience around the world and leading to the album towards two million streams.

Featuring some of the band’s darkest, most aggressive songs alongside moments in the alternative pop sunshine, 2021 follow up It’s Gonna Be Okay tackled life in modern Ireland, politics, racism, death, anxiety, austerity, social media and a moment of clarity on a rainy Dublin evening. Veering from the belief that it indeed will be alright in the end to the exact opposite, the album came to some sort of conclusion.

Taking their exuberant live show to festivals such as ESNS, The Great Escape, SxSW, Electric Picnic, Other Voices, Longitude and Body & Soul, they continued to release music between longer projects before taking a break to embark on solo work. The pair regrouped for new adventures in 2023 - starting with the joyous / deluded pop influenced single ‘IMTHEBEST’, launched at an intimate Tebi Desk show and the video for which premiered on Complex. It was followed by the Sitcom EP, featuring the post-punk rant ‘Main Character’.
