Foot Squeaker are an alt-indie power trio from Gorey, Ireland—Diarmuid Comerford (vocals/guitars), Mike Lynch (drums/vocals), and Richard Deering (bass/vocals). Formed in 2019, the band built a reputation for massive, dynamic songs that shift from subtle tension to striking, gritty anthems, blending punk energy, indie melody, and alternative edge.
In April 2026, they released their debut EP ARC EYE, marking a decisive step forward after several years of standalone singles. The EP centres on themes of family, grief, and the search for identity, with focus track "05:30" rooted in a long-standing family tradition of climbing Tara Hill near Gorey at sunrise each St. Patrick's Day. The release was supported by a nationwide Irish tour.
ARC EYE has earned critical praise from Jammerzine (US), PureMZine (IRE), Hot Press (IRE), Earmilk (US), and Clout (UK), with airplay on RTÉ 2fm and Amazing Radio, plus radio spins across France, Germany, New Zealand, and the US. Their live show has been described as one that "effortlessly shifts from light indie grooves to heavy, riff-filled climaxes."
With a completed tour and a debut album in the works, Foot Squeaker continue to build momentum ahead of their next chapter.
