SWELTR

Introducing SWELTR, the Dublin-based DIY rock duo making waves since October 2022 with their debut single, "What's It Gonna Be?". Comprising Tony Keyes from Blanchardstown and Noel Dempsey from Finglas, SWELTR infuses raw energy and gritty storytelling into their music.

Deeply rooted in the Irish punk scene, Noel and Tony are revolutionizing the genre by seamlessly blending grunge elements and offering a fresh sonic experience. Drawing from a diverse palette of influences and personal narratives, they craft a sound that is both nostalgic and innovative, resonating with the essence of Dublin's streets and the depths of their own minds.

Tony Keyes, hailed as the sonic architect, skillfully navigates guitar and vocal duties, inviting listeners into a world of rebellion and introspection with his Dublin-flavored vocals and intricate guitar work. Meanwhile, Noel Dempsey drives SWELTR's dynamic sound with his intense drumming, rooted in DIY ethics and punk ethos, serving as the rhythmic heartbeat of the duo.

Since their debut, SWELTR has captured attention, gracing the cover of Totally Dublin, Dublin's largest independent music and culture magazine, in September 2023. They also left a lasting impression on RTE's Sessions From Oblivion in February 2024, Ireland's national broadcaster. With plans to record their debut EP and headline captivating gigs in 2024, SWELTR is poised to make a significant impact on the music scene.

"Coming together to reshape the Irish punk genre by reintroducing grunge into the sonic landscape, Tony Keyes and Noel Dempsey demand ears with their unique, alluring sound," praises the Hotpress Magazine.

Additionally, Totally Dublin highlights, "SWELTR not only became a beacon of support between the duo, but they have cultivated a dedicated community of fans who have found solace in their music."
