Drive Thru was one of the first songs Papa Boyle demoed early on, for one reason or another it took him a little while to come back to it. But he’s really glad he did from the first moment he played it live at shows it went down well with audiences.
“Throughout the recording process I wanted to capture that energy from the live shows and I think we did just that. Drive Thru is about having a good time and sharing those fun moments, the track has a bit of an attitude to it that I hope the listener will enjoy!”
The track was recorded across two sessions in Sonic Studios Stoneybatter, Dublin and Analogue Catalogue Studios ,Newry.
Drive Thru is the first single from the debut EP “We Can Clear A Strange Divide” coming in 2026.
Papa Boyle is a Retro Indie artist based out of Dublin, Ireland. From an early age, he was given exposure to a wide range of music that spanned multiple decades and genres which fuelled the fire to become a songwriter and performer.
Taking inspiration from the retro sounds of the ’50s and 60’s Rock n Roll era (ie Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, The Everly Brothers) with a tinge of modern Indie (ie Father John Misty, Angel Olsen, Kings Of Leon, Orville Peck) Papa Boyle croons over an ambient landscape filled with rousing melodies and pondering punchlines.
The resulting hooks transport the listener to diners of old, bars of new, and crossroads that feel familiar yet unknown at the same time. With aspirations of 2024 being a breakout year with releases and gigs across Ireland, Papa Boyle has already seen himself land some great success with his debut release ‘Between Two Fools’ which was released in April 2024. and the follow up single ‘Last Chance Saloon’. He ended 2024 with his mesmerising single ‘Tranquillo’ and kicked off 2025 with his stunning single ‘Falling For A Daydream’ which received over 10,000 streams on Spotify and most recently ‘Chasing The Smile’ . He has also played venues such as Workmans Cellar and Sofar Sounds Amsterdam.
