The Guilteens

The Guilteens are a 4-piece band from Cork City, Ireland who have been quietly making a name for themselves on the Irish and European music scene since forming in 2023.
Formed out of a shared love for dark melodies and jagged rhythms, the band delivers music that is at once visceral and melodic—songs that strike like a knife but linger like a memory.
The band’s sound creates a cinematic atmosphere, blending sharp-edged modern rock with a haunting sense of storytelling.
Drawing inspiration from the grit of garage rock, the looseness of psychedelia and the moody aesthetics of French New Wave cinema, The Guilteens craft songs that feel both timeless and immediate.

The band made up of Finn Sedas (Guitar, Piano, Vocals), Tomás O’Brien (Bass), Cathal Nally (Guitar, Trumpet) and Shane Murphy (Drums) released their debut single ‘Further Down The Channel’ in March 2025 and have kept busy touring Ireland and playing notable support slots with other rising Irish acts such as Cardinals, Therapy Horse and Jean Pack.

On stage, The Guilteens bring a fierce presence, with driving rhythms and shadow-drenched visuals that turn each performance into an immersive experience.
The band will release their debut EP ‘Heavy Letters’ on October 31st preceded by the single ‘Born Evil’ on September 30th.

For fans of bands that carry both bite and poetry.
