The Future West

The Future West is a 4-piece Indie/Lo-fi/DIY band driven by Dundalk native, Francis Watters.

After a wee rest for the last couple of years, The Future West are back in the saddle for 2026 with their third album "Back To The Future III" which is set for release in April. This will be followed by the "Say It Again EP" during the Summer along with a run of shows around Ireland as well as a run of festival slots.

Presenting the live show as a four-piece band and with a speaker full of beats, loops and samples, The Future West deliver their own unique style of indie/noise-rock tinged with synth-pop with Watters maintaining relentless honesty in his thought provoking, emotive and witty lyrics.

“… a punchy, lo-fi sound that lies between the intersection of Interpol, Car Seat Headrest and Just Mustard.“ - Luke Lau (Minm)

“...you’ll realize that the band decorated those fundamentals of indie rock with quality properties of post-punk, post-rock, alternative rock, shoegaze, lo-fi, Brit-pop, and dream pop. The best part about these experimentations is that Future West are doing it pretty damn well. You will also notice it’s impossible to find any weak moments during the entire album.” - Djorde Miladinovic (Thoughts, Words, Action)

“...are instantly relatable and lack nothing in originality, a combination that makes them one to keep an eye on in 2022.” - Ellis Jean McArthur - Outer Tune Magazine

“It has sharp, explosive bursts of unexpected energy” - Julian Mason - GodIsInTheTvZine
