“A sheer bombardment of energy and life force” – The Daily Mirror
Hailing from Donegal, Boy M5 are an electrifying indie-pop band blending heartfelt storytelling with anthemic, high-energy performances. Formed by Kyle O’Neill, the band’s journey has been marked by resilience, creativity, and an unwavering passion for music.
Boy M5 quickly gained momentum with their vibrant sound, earning recognition in The Irish Times’ Top 20 Acts to Watch in 2024, selling out headline shows, and making waves at festivals like Stendhal, headlining the Air Stage on their debut performance at the festival. Their music has been praised by Chris Moyles (Radio X) and featured across Irish and UK airwaves.
Their latest single, “Never Be the Same,” is a deeply personal tribute to their late bassist Paul Mooney, a founding member whose influence remains at the heart of their sound. With new music in the works and bigger stages ahead, Boy M5 continue to carve their place as one of Ireland’s most exciting emerging acts.
