Florence Road are proving that the next big thing in alternative music could be coming straight out of Wicklow. This talented four-piece are firmly entering their breakout era, and we’re all invited…
Released via Warner Records, their latest single “7563” immediately grabs attention with its driving guitar line, anthemic opening, and huge vocal delivery. It’s a track that feels designed for the live environment, energetic, emotionally charged and built around the kind of chorus that demands to be shouted back from a festival crowd.
Their recent EP “Spring Forward” captures everything that makes Florence Road so exciting; huge alternative-rock hooks, emotionally charged songwriting, and an infectious sense of momentum. The four-track EP showcases a band that can move effortlessly between raw vulnerability and full-blown explosive energy.
At the centre of the EP is “Hanging Out To Dry,” a brilliantly restless track about trying to convince yourself you’re not falling for someone when, deep down, you know you already are.
Florence Road have already built an impressive live CV, performing at SXSW London and The Great Escape and supporting major names including Olivia Rodrigo, sombr, Wallows, The Last Dinner Party, and Royel Otis. Their 2026 live schedule has seen them step up to headline shows and major festival stages, including Latitude and Reading & Leeds.
Florence Road feel like a band on the cusp of something much bigger. If their recent trajectory is anything to go by, 2026 could be the year that Florence Road move from ones to watch to one of the UK’s most exciting new alternative bands.
“7563” is in stores now via Warner Records.
