Pointbreak

Pointbreak is an instrumental surf rock ‘n’ roll act from Dublin. A unique project formed in late 2014, with 3 EPs released over the years, “Get Wet!”, “Sing!” and “Turf Rock”. In 2024 the band released their first LP, “Ming Dynamite”, showcasing the band's expansion into a more diverse sonic palette, blending elements of garage, jazz, funk, and psychedelia into their classic surf sound. Music for a film that doesn’t exist.

Renowned as a live band, they put on a high-energy show and have played hundreds of gigs around Ireland and abroad.

Featuring musicians from the Jazz, Funk and Rockabilly scenes, Pointbreak has been featured on Dublin stages like Whelan’s, The Grand Social, The Button Factory, Sin É, The Harbour Bar and many more as headliners or supporting international acts. They have also been invited to many festivals (Knockanstockan, Dublin Rock ’n’ Roll Festival), international gigs (Italy, Scotland, Northern Ireland) and significant events (Dublin Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon Main Stage, opening for The Blizzards and Jerry Fish).

They currently hold a residency in The Foggy Dew in Dublin City.

The sound of Pointbreak is a raucous blend of soaking wet, twangy Fender guitars, screaming sax and a pulsating rhythm on the drums. Think Dick Dale, The Ventures and Link Wray with a jazz twist.
