FORGE HOUNDS is a new and exciting rock band from Waterford, Ireland.
Formed in 2022 by veterans Paul J Bolger (Vocals / Rhythm Guitar), Mick Wall (Vocals / Lead Guitar), Steve Roche (Bass), and Andy Kavanagh (Drums) the band amassed 250,000+ streams, in over 90 Countries on Spotify, in less than a year of releasing their first single. Their music draws inspiration from Rock legends like Thin Lizzy and ZZ Top infused with punky vibes from The Undertones and Hanoi Rocks. Their mature gut-punching sound resonates fiercely, reflecting their decades of writing, recording and performance experience.
Their debut single “Damned If You Don’t” dominated independent music charts globally, hitting number one in the USA’s “HUGS Radio” Underground Music Charts for much of 2023. Follow-up tracks “Not The One” and “Redcoat” continued the chart-topping trend. Their most recent release “Sun Kissed Sky” currently resides in the top ten of the HUGS Charts and previously reigned for 3 weeks atop Brazil’s “Geografia” Rock Chart.
The band played their first hometown show for Spraoi 2024 to a rapturous audience who danced, sang and rocked with the band into the night.Forge Hounds will release their debut album across all platforms and on limited edition Vinyl and CD in November 2024. The band will tour Ireland in November and December 2024 to promote the new album with international festival and touring plans coming into play in 2025.
Old school is new school as far as these hounds are concerned, with their blend of catchy choruses, intelligent lyrics and world class musicianship coming together as fans of all ages enjoy their home-grown songs and sound.
