CABL

CABL (pronounced Cable) are a self-proclaimed “indie rock band put through a broken dishwasher”. Drawing inspiration from Just Mustard, Title fight, Elliot Smith Big Thief and Deftones, their unique blend of Shoegaze, Pop, Emo, Nu Metal and Folk often deals with themes such as addiction, flawed family situations and mental illness. They surround these introspective ideas with carefully orchestrated noise, harmony, and infectious melodies.
Since their debut on Halloween night 2021, CABL have built up a reputation as one of the most exciting up and coming live acts in Ireland. This reputation has secured them support slots with bands such as Pillow Queens in Vicar street, The Scratch, Ulrika Spacek, , Robocobra Quartet and an Irish tour with Kynsy. As well as sold out headline shows in The Grand Social, Sin E, Whelan’s and Workman’s.
Their Chris Ryan (Just Mustard, NewDad) produced debut EP “See You In a Year and a Half” is a project that deals with themes of moral contradiction and loss expressed through narrative driven storytelling and surreal dream like imagery. Covering a wide array of genres from the Irish folk revival to washed out shoegaze, “S.Y.I.A.Y.A.A.H.” accumulated tens of thousands of streams in its first few months on Spotify. Saw CABL featured on playlist such as new music Friday, a breath of fresh Eire and Alternative Ireland, as well as receiving widespread nationwide radio coverage from stations like Nova, RTE 2fm, 8 Radio LMFM, and UCCFM.
With the addition of new drummer Cian 'The kid' 'O Donnell, CABL started self recording their debut album with the help of long term collaborator Chris Ryan and Drogheda based producer Daniel De Burca. This album is expected in late 2026. While working on this project CABL will release singles in June and September of 2025, moving towards a heavier, nosier more emo influenced sound.
