forge hounds Biography
FORGE HOUNDS is a thrilling new hard rock project from Ireland.
Inspired by Classic Rock bands like Thin Lizzy, ZZ Top, Bad Company, Deep Purple with a generous nod to the punky rock and roll of The Undertones, Ramones and Hanoi Rocks and the modern edge of Queens Of The Stone Age, Forge Hounds deliver a no-nonsense mature sound that hits you right in the gut.
The band is made up of seasoned songwriters and musicians Paul J Bolger (Vocals / Rhythm Guitar), Mick Wall (Vocals / Lead Guitar), Steve Roche (Bass), and Andy Kavanagh (Drums).
Their debut single "Damned If You Don’t" was released on December 2nd, 2022. The song has since been embraced by the international Rock community, receiving glowing reviews and airplay across the globe. From Ireland to the USA, from all across Europe to Canada, Australia, the UK, New Zealand and on to Brazil and beyond the song has struck a chord with fans and critics alike.
"Damned" achieved top positions on the Independent Music Charts in several countries, reaching Number 1 on the Underground Music Charts Top 200 in the USA. The follow up singles "Not The One" and "Redcoat" also continued this charting trend, attaining positive reviews and airplay globally. Their fourth single "Sun Kissed Sky" was released in late July 2023 and is currently sitting at Number 8, in the USA, Underground Music Charts Top 200, having also spent 3 weeks at Number 1 in the Geografia Rock Charts in Brazil.
“Forge Hounds. It does what it says on the tin -
no nonsense, hard rocking good times.”
Barry Devlin, HORSLIPS
The passion of Forge Hounds knows no boundaries, as their music is now being enjoyed in a staggering 82+ countries worldwide. Their unwavering dedication and relatability shines through in every song they create, connecting with listeners on a profound level. They are currently riding high with over 200,000 streams on Spotify as at July 2024.
Forge Hounds have just finished recording their self-titled debut album. Also included on this ten-song record are a wild tribute to Lemmy called "King Of The Strip", celebrating his life and times spent in The Rainbow Bar on L.A.’s Sunset Strip. The album also has a few fast rockers in the shape of “Scratch That Itch” and “Hometown Hero” plus the powerful call to action ballad "Louder Than Words" and the epic album closer "Death Of A Person Unknown" - first written in the early 1980's by Paul & Steve and given a new lease of life here with great aplomb.
“Forge Hounds are exactly what Waterford, Ireland and beyond need right now.
They bring a familiar, yet new sound from the classic rock genre to the stages
and venues (not to mention record stores) of the world. In 'No Quarter',
Led Zeppelin said 'The dogs of doom are howling more….
just wait until you hear these Forge Hounds howl! “
