Dylan Flynn and The Dead Poets
Dylan Flynn & The Dead Poets make songs that come from the heart. The Limerick group are aiming for pure communication – surging Indie-Rock that comes with a pop openness, their widescreen yet down-to-earth musicality has a viral appeal, yet remains DIY in origin. 2024 saw the band self-produce and release their new album and take on their biggest shows to date – packing and selling-out rooms across the UK & Ireland. 1,000,000 streams later, support slots with the likes of NewDad and Kingfishr, and continuous radio support in the UK & Ireland, has shown that these lads are one’s to watch for 2025.
At times they recall the buster of The War On Drugs, or the vitality carried by Gang Of Youths; there’s a nod to Radiohead’s raw emotion, or Springsteen’s surging passion – with their songs speaking to twenty-somethings living in a country that completely ignores them.
Over the last few months, the band have garnered a hype around them that is hard to ignore. Tracks from their latest album saw them land spins on BBC ATL, Radio X, RTE 2FM and Today FM, while also being featured on the cover of two Spotify playlists, Alternative Ireland & Fresh Finds UK & IE. Their music has appeared in blogs such as Clash Magazine, The Thin Air, Hot Press, The Last Mixed Tape, and a phenomenal Electric Arena set at Electric Picnic Festival showed that the band can put on a show live. The band closed out 2024 with a UK and Ireland tour, where they sold out dates in London, Manchester, Limerick and Galway.
Part of a wave of energy within Irish music, the band have been nurtured within a close-knit creative community - yet are unafraid to speak with a singular voice.
