Forming in 2023 HOUSEMATES exploded onto the Galway DIY scene with a raw, unapologetic sound that cuts the listener to the bone. The post-grunge powerhouse packs attitude & grit while simultaneously leaving a lasting impression. Having caught the attention of longtime alt-rockers Fangclub, the band opened up for them in the Róisín Dubh in April 2025. Combining trashy guitars, driving bass & attacking drums they blend melodic intensity with raw aggression, creating a unique fusion of chaos and control. The group came into their own in the live realm. With a stage show known for it’s seismic energy & early 90s undertones, HOUSEMATES turn even the smallest of venues into rocking fun houses every time.

The group released their debut EP “cutting teeth?” in January, and are embarking on a National Tour in support of the release, hitting the four major cities in The Republic.
