    "comment": "Béal Feirste (roughly pronounced \"Bay-al Fer-ish-ta\") is the Irish language name for Belfast, which translates to \"mouth of the sandbank ford\" or \"mouth of the (River) Farset.\" It refers to the historical tidal ford where the Farset River flows into the River Lagan, forming the basis for the city's name and its early development.\n\nChalk performed a blisteringly gorgeous in-studio here LIVE at KEXP back in November 2025; check it out here: https://tinyurl.com/yc3ystdf\n\nComing from dissimilar backgrounds and rallying together naturally, Ben Goddard and Ross Cullen first crossed paths in film school.  As the story goes, Ben had noticed a framed poster of Dublin disruptors Gilla Band in one of Ross's Instagram photos and felt a kinship before ever actually speaking to him.\n\n\"Nobody else at our school was into experimental noise guitar bands, so that was all I needed to see,\" laughs Ben. https://tinyurl.com/",
