Hot Rod Hearse

Hot Rod Hearse have the fever pretty bad. It’s caused by browsing thrift shops and apothecaries. It’s caused by devouring music and walking around in marshes and swamps. Their music is a mix of Swamp Blues and Rockabilly and they call it Thrift Shop Rock. They are based in the magical town of Wexford, Ireland.

Having played the Strawberry Roots Festival in Enniscorthy, the Free Fringe Festival in Leitrim and the Dublin Rock 'n Roll Festival, Hot Rod Hearse released their first full album, "One Time, Pappie !" on the 27th August 2017. It was subsequently named as "August Album of the month" on Remy's music and film blog.

Their debut single, "There by the Road" was released in August 2016. Shortly thereafter, it was chosen as one of the Top 20 finalists in the Dublin City Rounders AltCountry Song Contest.

Their second single, "1973" was released in January 2017 and garnered some rave reviews.
