Evocative Irish new-wave/post-punk outfit His Father’s Voice released their debut album Black Poison Morning alongside restless single ‘Interior Decorator’ on Friday 6 September 2024.

Listen to Black Poison Morning

Limerick’s His Father’s Voice deliver a brooding yet purposeful sound with soaring pop melodies, muscular rhythms, and immersive guitars. The live show tugs at a heavy atmosphere that looms around lead singer Ash O’Connor and lead guitarist James Reidy, intensified by Laya Meabhdh Kenny and Cian McGuirk who contain and release a moody rhythm section. 

New-wave inspired single ‘Arm’s Length’ and the shoegaze swelling of ‘Forgot to Feed’ saw the band storm into 2024. ‘Arm’s Length’ was Dan Hegarty’s RTÉ 2FM Track of the Week and earned notable airplay across BBC Radio Ulster, John Kennedy on Radio X, and KXCI. 

The band continued their momentum with the BBC 6 music supported ‘The Blues’, a single propelled by driving guitars and a disruptive rhythm section depicting how corporate hospitality spaces bury community culture. 

The band’s debut album Black Poison Morning is an album confronting the wounds of discomfort, flipping post-punk’s penchant for outburst on its head with controlled resistance and release. The album is available on vinyl via Blowtorch Records. 

In previous years His Father’s Voice have supported artists like Cherry Glazerr and Viagra Boys, and made festival appearances at Electric Picnic and Whelan’s Ones to Watch. The band also features in Féile na Gréine’s award-nominated documentary ‘Out of Place’ (Irish Film London 2022 and Vermont Film Festival 2023)

“[On The Blues] Lead singer Ash O’Connor has a voice to be reckoned with.”

“[On The Blues] HFV are a band catching the ones to watch tag fast.”

 “If ‘Arm’s Length’ is reflective of what is to come from the band, we should ready ourselves for some truly memorable music.”

Dan Hegarty, The Alternative – RTÉ 2FM

 “[On Arm’s Length] So superbly written … everything has this sense of self and this sense of place within the genre expectation.”

Stephen White, The Last Mixed Tape
