Dublin indie rockers Pants On Fire are making waves with their new single ‘Vodka Shampoo’
Known for their raw, energetic performances, the band has quickly established themselves as a force in the local music scene; Since their early days as a cover band, they’ve evolved into a dynamic group, blending catchy indie rock melodies with a heavier, more experimental edge. Recent lineup changes have injected fresh energy into the band, as bassist Kaelig and drummer Jeff joined Finn and Ollie to create a powerful new sound.
‘Vodka Shampoo’ represents the next step in that evolution. What started as a jam with their former lineup has been refined into a bold track that captures their heavier style. As they prepare for its release and their biggest headline show to date at Whelan’s, the excitement surrounding the band is palpable.
