Ways of Seeing

Cork band Ways of Seeing developed from the idea that songs could reveal parts of the self that might otherwise never have surfaced.

Influenced by Irish rock bands of the past such as Microdisney, Whipping Boy, The Radiators from Space and Rollerskate Skinny, their music blends elements of shoegaze and post-punk with a brooding, intellectual edge.

They released their debut album 'End Comes To Light' in October 2022 to much critical praise and attention. Singles from the album received national radio airplay on shows such as The Alternative with Dan Hegarty on 2fm and Newstalk’s Tom Dunne Show.

A sellout performance at Whelan’s in 2024 built on a headline show at Mike The Pies and support slots to bands such as The Frank and Walters. Whatever the stage, fourpiece Ways of Seeing have always been a force to be reckoned with when performing live.

Having just released 'Idolise, the urgent first single from their sophomore album (produced by Christian Best and mixed by Daniel Fox) which is set for release in the coming months, 2025 is the year Ways of Seeing come to the fore.
