Foot Squeaker
Battling to revive a dormant music scene in their hometown of Gorey, alt-rock power trio, Foot Squeaker, have laid the first cornerstones of a new guitar band stronghold. Building hype from the ground up with a DIY mindset, the band are showing that you don’t have to be from the capital city to turn heads in the Irish Music Scene.
Accomplishing a wall of sound with only three bricks. When Foot Squeaker play live their twisted rhythms and triple vocal trickery are revelatory.

Their return single was playlisted by Spotify on Alternative Ireland and other top playlists.
'Friends Like These', again, mixed by Daniel Fox was released March 22nd to critical acclaim:
