We Town Criers

Band Biography

Intense live shows, contagious vocal melodies and guitars played the way they should be, honest and loud. We Town Criers believe in sounding big!

In September 2013, We Town Criers released their debut album, Swing Beast.

Reviews for Swing Beast:

"I can’t stress how strong this album is and how much this deserves to be heard by any so called supporter of Irish music. If you’re a fan of dark alternative rock like Therapy? in their prime, this is for you. Even if you’re not, check it out anyway. You will not be disappointed." - Chew Your Own Fat

"Stunning vocals, tight riffs, wholehearted lyrics and a flawless rhythm section. An addictive listen ‘Swing Beast’ is a superb début effort from We Town Criers" - GoldenPlec

We Town Criers, Jesus where do I start. A four piece from Roscommon who successfully (and I really mean that) blend Tool, Everything Everything with a bit of Pearl Jam and great songwriting. It’s amazing, where the hell did these guys come from?! - We Are Noise
