The Depravations are a four piece indie folk pop dance rock surf paper scissors band based in Galway, Ireland. Since forming in 2007 we have released two EPs and are currently recording our debut album.

General sounds we like come from the 1950s and 1960s, surf music, really old country and blues and 1990s dance music.

Lyrically its mostly about love, distance, death and sunshine.

We try to make pleasant yet interesting songs for you to hear in your ears which will give you some kind of joy or something.

"An Impressive debut"
- Niall Byrne (Nialler9/ State)

"The best music I've heard in months... bloody brilliant"
- Josh Clarke (popgoestheradio)

"Gentle folky sounds with harmonies to swoon over"
- Aoife Barry (The Ticket)

"Five tracks of mellow gold: with a charming lightness-of-touch, vintage-sounding harmonies and a subtly uplifting vibe, this is really enjoyable stuff."
- Daniel Harrison (Electric Whipcrack)

"It works beautifully, opening unexpectedly with a clearing of the throat, and from there on in it spirals and flows richly, and completely naturally"
- Liam Corcoran (azurecow)

"You know that old ghostly songwriting genius sound that hits you somewhere in your brain you barely even knew existed when you hear it"
- Smally (daydreamgeneration)
