Limerick’s His Father’s Voice deliver a brooding yet purposeful sound with soaring pop melodies, muscular rhythms, and immersive guitars. The live show tugs at a heavy atmosphere that looms around lead singer Ash O’Connor and lead guitarist James Reidy, intensified by Laya Meabhdh Kenny and Cian McGuirk who contain and release a moody rhythm section.
New-wave inspired single ‘Arm’s Length’ and the shoegaze swelling of ‘Forgot to Feed’ saw the band storm into 2024. ‘Arm’s Length’ was Dan Hegarty’s RTÉ 2FM Track of the Week and earned notable airplay across BBC Radio Ulster, John Kennedy on Radio X, and KXCI.
The band continued their momentum with the BBC 6 music supported ‘The Blues’, a single propelled by driving guitars and a disruptive rhythm section depicting how corporate hospitality spaces bury community culture.
The band’s debut album Black Poison Morning is an album confronting the wounds of discomfort, flipping post-punk’s penchant for outburst on its head with controlled resistance and release. The album is available on vinyl via Blowtorch Records.
In previous years His Father’s Voice have supported artists like Cherry Glazerr and Viagra Boys, and made festival appearances at Electric Picnic and Whelan’s Ones to Watch. The band also features in Féile na Gréine’s award-nominated documentary ‘Out of Place’ (Irish Film London 2022 and Vermont Film Festival 2023)
