Battling to revive a dormant music scene in their hometown of Gorey, alt-rock masons Foot Squeaker have laid the first cornerstones of the new guitar band stronghold. Building things from the ground up with a DIY mindset showing that you don’t have to be from the capital city to turn heads in the Irish Music Scene.
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 sees 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. The band are ready to prove their ability to deliver live across venues in Ireland and abroad to the unsuspecting public at large. The band have shook the walls of Fibber Magees in Dublin twice this year along with a blistering set at The Gorey Market House Festival.
Silhouette has already hit the airwaves on Amazing Radio UK and US (Shell Zenner & Frankie Francis), Top Of The Morning Show NZ, and countless shows across Ireland.
No Connection
‘It’s a solid piece of Foo Fighters indebted guitar rock.’

Dave McMahon - Bayview Sounds Blog
Wayside
‘It's one of the most impressive tracks to be released by a local band in a long time.’
Brendan Keane - Gorey Guardian
Specimen
‘Think Foo Fighters meets Pearl Jam…certainly a band made to perform their music live! Specimen stands out from the crowd with its unique range of guitar hooks and stadium choruses.’
