Irish indie-pop rockers modernlove. – to release new single ‘furniture.’ this week ahead of extensive 18 date UK/EU Tour

With larger than life indie-pop anthems born of small town boredom, coming of age, big nights out and young love gone wrong, modernlove. are a new generation’s brightest hope – already racking up streams in their millions and selling out shows all over the world, simply by singing about what they know and having a good time doing it. From playing dingey rural pubs to working with super-producer Luca Buccellati (of Arlo Parks and Lana Del Rey fame), this Irish band of young 20-somethings are well on course to fulfil their potential as one of the fastest-rising pop-rock bands.

Formed in Drogheda near Dublin in 2016 of childhood friends and mutual pals, the four-piece came together as “the only people in town we knew who liked music”. Their shared influences of the game-changing future-pop of The 1975 and The Japanese House, the new wave sounds of The Cure and New Order, the danceable indie of Bloc Party and Bombay Bicycle Club, the experimental ambience of Jon Hopkins and Aphex Twin ,and a whole lot of day-glo pop-punk took them from jamming covers for the hell of it to carving out a monolithic, genre-shifting sound of their own to lift them out of the doldrums of their sleepy hometown.
