Florence Road

Florence Road takes its name from a street in Bray, an Irish coastal town just outside Dublin. It’s where the members of the band went to school and spent their formative years. The four girlfriends would regularly hole up in a garden shed to jam, building a repertoire that moves effortlessly from grunge to indie rock and alt-pop. Their songs tell stories about the frustrations and awkwardness of growing up – always with a healthy dose of humour. Quickly embraced by Dublin’s vibrant music scene, the band made a rapid leap from TikTok cover videos to opening slots for major acts like Olivia Rodrigo and sombr. With their 2025 EP Fall Back, Florence Road are already being hailed as the natural heirs to The Cranberries. Frontwoman Lily Aron’s raw, grainy vocals inevitably draw comparisons with the late Dolores O’Riordan.
