About Slugs

The Slugs are a Cork-based four-piece delivering high-energy riff-driven alt-rock with a sharp emotional edge. Their sound fuses the grit and swagger of Queens of the Stone Age and the melodic punch of Catfish and the Bottlemen, creating a taut, a livewire tension that defines their identity.

Rapidly building momentum in the Cork and wider Irish live music scene, The Slugs have earned a reputation for visceral, high-energy sets that blur the line between control and collapse. Following a sold-out show in Cork’s largest indoor venue, Cyprus Avenue, and with new singles on the horizon, The Slugs are emerging as one of the most exciting new acts in Ireland’s DIY scene.
