Bullpen

Dublin indie rock duo Bullpen first entered the Irish scene three years ago as The Malefactors. During this time, they played in venues across the city, including a sold-out headliner at the Grand Social, and the inaugural Based Festival at a sold-out Button Factory. They have also shared the stage with bands like Florence Road and Last Apollo, and were named as one of the Hot Press Hot for 2024 Irish Acts.

In July 2024, they rebranded as Bullpen, releasing their first single and music video. Lucille O'Mahony and drummer Wren Colville are accompanied onstage by Michèal Carney of Taiyo and Zalán Kovács of Pending.
Their music is influenced by rock artists like Jeff Buckley and folk artists like Adrianne Lenker, creating a signature blend of soulful indie rock. They have amassed a strong following across Ireland and elsewhere, with more than 12K monthly listeners on Spotify, and their next release is highly anticipated.
