Battling to revive a dormant music scene in their hometown of Gorey, alt-rock power trio, Foot Squeaker, have laid the first cornerstones of a new guitar band stronghold. Building hype from the ground up with a DIY mindset, the band are showing that you don’t have to be from the capital city to turn heads in the Irish Music Scene.

 

Accomplishing a wall of sound with only three bricks. When Foot Squeaker play live their twisted rhythms and triple vocal trickery are revelatory.

 

The band released three singles, ‘No Connection’, ‘Wayside’ and ‘Specimen’ over 2020, garnering radio play across Ireland and countries across the world including the UK, Canada and New Zealand.
 

2023 saw the band back to full focus with their new single ’Silhouette’, mixed by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band) and mastered by Darragh Nolan aka Astakalapa, released 01.09.23.

​

Silhouette hit the airwaves on Amazing Radio UK and US (Shell Zenner & Frankie Francis), Top Of The Morning Show NZ, and countless radio shows across Ireland and abroad.

 

Their return single was playlisted by Spotify on Alternative Ireland and other top playlists.

 

'Friends Like These', again, mixed by Daniel Fox  was released March 22nd to critical acclaim:
