Not so much a cone head.....



Squarehead is a 3 piece garage pop band from Dublin, Ireland. Squarehead’s music is upbeat and energetic, funky and retro; echoing the summery sounds of the surf pop scene from the 1960s.

“The surf pop influence came from Ruan really,” explains Roy. “He has played in so many pop and rock bands, and he has a really eclectic knowledge of music and the 1960s scene – he introduced us to a lot of that. His drumming kind of suits that stuff as well.

Influences range from The Beach Boys to The Wipers.They count Morrissey as a fan after he was spotted at their gig at the Workmans Club, Dublin in February.

You can stream their album from Bandcamp.

They play the Roisin Dubh, Galway on 16th September and The Workmans Club, 10 Wellington Quay, Dublin 2 on Sept 17th, both part of their album launch.
