Empty Lungs

Empty Lungs are a spirited punk rock trio hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, known for their high-energy sound and socially charged lyricism. Formed in 2011, the band—comprising Danny McClelland (vocals/guitar), Tom Short (bass), and Chris Sloan (drums)—carves out melodic yet gritty anthems that tackle themes like political disillusionment, mental health, and societal inequality. Over the years, they’ve become staples in the UK and Irish DIY punk circuits, sharing stages with acts like The Flatliners and playing festivals such as Rebellion Punk Festival. Their 2019 album *Cabin Fever* captured their urgency and knack for hook-driven rebellion, while recent singles like "Don’t Get It" and the razor-sharp "From Russia With a Lack of Love" showcase their unflinching commentary on modern chaos. Whether they’re raging against injustice or crafting earworm choruses, Empty Lungs keep their fists in the air and their hearts on their sleeves.
