The Future West

The Future West is an indie/lo-fi/DIY 4-piece fronted by Dundalk musician, Francis Watters. After a wee rest, The Future West are back in the saddle and gearing up for a busy 2026.

Picking up from where they left off from 2022’s album “Who Will Forgive All My Sins”, The Future West will return to the stage with the same ferocious energy they held before. Paired with a speaker full of beats, loops and samples and Watters’ witty, thought provoking and emotive lyrics, The Future West are a live act that have found their own unique balance of garage/alt. rock mixed with synth-pop sensibilities.

“… 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
