Fangclub

Fangclub is a gritty, grunge-infused rock band hailing from Dublin, Ireland, known for their electrifying sound that pays homage to the raw energy and melody-driven hooks of the '90s era. The trio, consisting of Steven King on guitar and vocals, Kevin Keane on bass, and Dara Coleman on drums, first erupted onto the music scene with their self-titled EP "Fangclub" in 2016. Their music is laden with heavy riffs and emotive lyrics, a testament to their influences which include the likes of Nirvana and The Pixies.

The band's ascent in the rock landscape was marked by subsequent high-octane releases such as the EP "Coma Happy" and singles like "Bullet Head," which showcased their ability to blend thunderous rhythms with catchy choruses. Fangclub's earnest and unvarnished approach to songwriting culminated in their full-length albums, "Fangclub" (2017) and "Vulture Culture" (2019), the latter being a powerful exploration of personal and societal turmoil. Their work features tracks like "Viva Violent," "Nightmare," "Hesitations," and "True Love," each further entrenching the band's standing as torchbearers for a new wave of raw, alternative rock that resonates with fans across the globe. Despite their heavy sound, the band’s gift for melodicism ensures that their music is as accessible as it is intense.
