Waterpistol

**Waterpistol** is a raucous Dublin-based indie rock crew who’ve been shaking up Ireland’s music scene since the early 2000s. Fusing raw garage rock energy with post-punk snarl, they’re known for sweat-drenched live shows and tracks like the riff-heavy “Shotgun,” the gritty existential anthem “Où est ton âme?,” and the shimmering “Living in a Dream,” which nails their knack for wrapping melancholic lyrics in jangly hooks. Though they’ve stayed under the mainstream radar, their DIY ethos and relentless touring (including wild EU festival slots) have cemented them as cult favorites for fans of scrappy, unfiltered rock. Keep an eye out for their lo-fi music videos and chaotic merch—their live gigs are where the magic (and occasional stage-diving) really happens.
