Dylan Flynn & The Dead Poets make songs that come from the heart. The Limerick group are aiming for pure communication – surging Indie-Rock that comes with a pop openness, their widescreen yet down-to-earth musicality has a viral appeal, yet remains DIY in origin. 2024 saw the band self-produce and release their new album and take on their biggest shows to date – selling-out rooms across the UK & Ireland. 2,000,000 streams later, support slots with the likes of NewDad, The Darkness & Kingfishr, and a recent appearance at SXSW in Austin, has shown that these lads are one’s to watch for 2025. At times they recall the buster of The War On Drugs, or the vitality carried by Gang Of Youths; there’s a nod to Radiohead’s raw emotion, or Springsteen’s surging passion – with their songs speaking to twenty-somethings living in a country that completely ignores them. Over the last few months, recent tracks have landed spins on BBC ATL, Radio X, RTE 2FM, while also being featured on the cover of two Spotify playlists, Alternative Ireland & Fresh Finds UK & IE. Their music has also appeared in blogs such as Clash Magazine, Atwood Magazine, The Thin Air, Hot Press. Atwood Magazine - "One of Ireland's most exciting rising bands; storytellers who turn doubt into devotion." Clash - “A real sense of maturation and evolution.” Gemma Bradley (BBC) – “I’m absolutely obsessed.” Hot Press - "Every time I see this band live, I forget how spine-tinglingly fantastic they are."
