Cutouts

Cutouts are a four-piece rock band, from Cork City, Ireland.

We are Adam Walsh (vocals, guitar), Adam English (guitar, keys, backing vocals), Jamie Conway (bass) and Matt Bertone (drums). Our music blends elements of indie, folk and noise-rock. Our influences include the
likes of Ohia, The Velvet Underground and The Waterboys.

Known for our volume, energy and dry humour at live shows, we’ve quickly built a reputation as one of Cork’s most exciting bands. Following the release of our debut single Friends in early 2025, a venture into country music; a deviation from the band’s usual style, Cutouts have since played a mix of sold-out support
and headline shows at Cyprus Avenue, Fred Zeppelins, The Roundy and Coughlan’s.

“Nothing short of phenomenal” … “the whole thing felt like a storm breaking out on stage” -
Sophie Lee, An Seomra Ceol.

We’re currently in the process of recording our debut album with producer Brendan Fennessy of O Emperor fame, due to be released in 2026.

To help us navigate the Irish music industry, we organised and attended a consultation session with Angela Dorgan of First Music Contact, where we received invaluable advice from her. Since then, we’ve taken the advice, refined our sound, sharpened our live performances, and are now ready, and very excited, to show off what we’ve been working on.
