Adore

Fast-rising Irish duo Adore consisting of Lara (guitar, vocals) and Naoise Jordan Cavanagh (drums) - hailing from Dublin and Galway join us at The Crescent for their UK headline tour after their release debut EP 'BITER' via Big Scary Monsters.

Produced by Daniel Fox (of Gilla Band), 'BITER' is a volatile and unexpectedly moving seven-track sucker punch. A snarling collision of punk grit and alt-rock melodies, Adore pull inspiration from horror films, vampire folklore and personal experience, with the EP unravelling the quiet ways we contort ourselves to fit in, and the chaos that follows when we push back. 

With every new release, Adore sharpen their edge and stretch their reach, building towards defining the next chapter of Irish punk & further staking their claim as one of Ireland’s most exciting new voices. Pulling from a lineage of bands that made messiness feel deliberate - citing the likes of Misfits, Sleater-Kinney, Le Tigre, The Breeders, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs all as points of influence.

The band have played live relentlessly since their debut in 2023: with dates supporting Warmduscher, SPRINTS, CHALK, Cardinals, The Scratch, Pillow Queens, 86TVs, The Bug Club & festival appearances at The Great Escape, Dot To Dot, All Together Now, Electric Picnic, Manchester Psych Fest, Brighton Psych Fest and Edinburgh Psych Fest and many more. They are now embarking on a headline tour of the UK and Ireland throughout autumn 2025, culminating in Dublin's Button Factory on 29th November.
