This That & The Other - the Irish indie rock band hailing from the vibrant city of Cork - are quickly establishing themselves as the ones to watch in the music scene. Originally formed under the name Skag Days in February 2022, the band's early gigs showcased their raw talent, but it wasn't long before they realized their true potential lay in a more indie rock sound with heavy influences from shoegaze. This led to the name change to This That & The Other, and they've been on an upward trajectory ever since.
Fronted by the renowned Cork singer-songwriter and guitarist Saoirse Millard, who originally fronted Fyünkay, the band's lineup also includes the incredibly talented bassist, producer and engineer Jose Perdomo, whose love for shoegaze, psychedelic rock, and ambient music adds a unique and atmospheric dimension to their sound. The lead guitarist, Cal Bohane, brings his music degree and masters in sound engineering to the table, creating intricate melodies that perfectly complement the band's sound. Finally, the powerhouse drummer, Ciarán Fitzpatrick, previously known for his work with The ACA, is an essential part of the band's energetic and infectious rhythm section.
With influences ranging from Placebo and Paramore to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Slow Dive, This That & The Other's debut single, "Career Break," is a true testament to their impressive musical abilities. The band is ready to take Ireland by storm, and they're eager to bring their captivating live performances to audiences across the country. With a bright future ahead of them, be sure to keep an eye out for This That & The Other - they're a band you won't want to miss!
