Dylan Flynn & The Dead Poets make songs that come from the heart. The Limerick group are aiming for pure communication – surging Indie-Rock that comes with a pop openness, their widescreen yet down-to-earth musicality has a viral appeal, yet remains DIY in origin. 2024 saw the band self-produce and release their new album and take on their biggest shows to date – selling-out rooms across the UK & Ireland. 2 Mil streams later, support slots with the likes of NewDad, The Darkness & Kingfishr, and a recent appearance at SXSW in Austin, has shown that these lads are one’s to watch for 2025.
At times they recall the buster of The War On Drugs, or the vitality carried by Gang Of Youths; there’s a nod to Radiohead’s raw emotion, or Springsteen’s surging passion – with their songs speaking to twenty-somethings living in a country that completely ignores them.
Over the last few months, the band have garnered a hype around them that is hard to ignore. Tracks from last year saw them land spins on BBC NI, Radio X, RTE 2FM, while also being featured in blogs such as Clash Magazine, The Thin Air, Hot Press.
Part of a wave of energy within Irish music, the band have been nurtured within a close-knit creative community - yet are unafraid to speak with a singular voice.
Clash - “a real sense of maturation and evolution.”
Gemma Bradley (BBC ATL) – “I’m absolutely obsessed.”
Hot Press - "Every time I see this band live, I forget how spine-tinglingly fantastic they are."
