DREAM BOY

Dublin-based shoegaze quartet DREAM BOY are a female dominated group drawing inspiration from an array of bands, including Men I Trust, NewDad, Slowdive, and My Bloody Valentine. With a fresh and contemporary approach to shoegaze, their sound is a captivating blend of dreamy melancholy- featuring haunting vocals, wistful harmonies, and walls of reverb-drenched guitars. Their dark and immersive soundscapes draw listeners into a gritty, hazy world, ‘with a sense of the cinematic’ (ChordBlossom,2024), that lingers long after the music fades.

Blending shoegaze with dream pop, DREAM BOY has been making waves, with a series of standout releases in 2024, earning attention from media outlets such as The GOO, Golden Plec, District & Still Listening Magazine.

Nialler9 has praised their tracks as “a somnambulist debut” and “a confident shoegazey number” (2024). Their latest single, “bleed,” was featured as 2FM’s Track of the Week on Dan Hegarty’s The Alternative, with radio coverage from RTÉ, Dublin City FM, and Islington Radio.

DREAM BOY has captured the attention of press and listeners alike, with over 20k streams on Spotify and 1,000 plus monthly listeners. They’ve made their mark with notable lineups, supporting artists such as Twen, Wombo, Cat Ryan, and Alien Chicks, gigging across Ireland and the UK.
