Florence Road are rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about new bands in the world. Praised by NME, Rolling Stone, Clash, and The Line of Best Fit, the Wicklow four-piece have built a devoted audience of over 1 million followers, all before their debut mixtape had even dropped.
Bringing their own distinct sound to the table—deftly intertwining soft and loud, tender and explosive—Florence Road are a band writing and performing music that is both enigmatic and compelling. Fronted by the magnetic Lily Aron, with best friends Emma Brandon (guitar), Ailbhe Barry (bass), and Hannah Kelly (drums), the band’s connection is palpable, translating into performances that feel raw, real, and impossible to look away from.
Having teased their sound through a fast run of back-to-back singles and viral clips, Florence Road have already shown flashes of the lyrical depth and musical prowess that define their songwriting. Their music explores the multifaceted nature of youth—its anxieties, intensity, humour, and heartbreak—with arrangements that shapeshift between indie rock, grunge, and alt-pop, always grounded in feeling and fearlessness.
