Republic of Loose was an Irish funk rock band that made significant waves in the music scene with their eclectic blend of rock, funk, and blues, infused with a dash of hip-hop sensibility. Formed in Dublin in the early 2000s, they quickly stood out in the Irish music landscape for their brash style and electrifying performances.

The band delivered a series of influential releases throughout their career. "This Is the Tomb of the Juice," their debut album released in 2004, showcased their raw energy and unique sound, earning them critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. They followed this success with "Aaagh!" in 2006, further cementing their position in the music industry with its infectious grooves and sharp songwriting. With "Vol IV: Johnny Pyro and the Dance of Evil," released in 2008, Republic of Loose continued to explore themes with their distinct, unapologetic swagger, capturing the attention of listeners with hits like "The Steady Song (feat. Isabel Reyes-Feeney)." Notably, the band also released "Bounce At the Devil," a testament to their ability to evolve and push the boundaries of their genre.

Republic of Loose was known for their dynamic and exhilarating live performances, one of which was captured in the "Live At Oxegen - EP," giving fans a taste of their on-stage prowess. While tracks like "Thinking of You" and "The Punishment" might have arrived toward the latter part of their career, they remained true to the band's artistic vision, blending passion and innovation to create music that resonated with many. Though the group has been relatively quiet in recent years, the legacy of their brash and soulful sound continues to influence and inspire.
