The Fynches are an Irish folk-rock band that evoke the golden age of hard-hitting melodicism. They balance early-70s swagger with an elevated folk sensibility, showcasing a love for rich vocal harmonies, musing lyricism, and catchy choruses.
The brainchild of Ferdia Walsh-Peelo (lead vocals and guitar) and Oisín Walsh-Peelo (vocals and keys), The Fynches also comprise Camryn Teehan (drums), Fionn O’Neill (bass), and Julia-Maria (cello). Vocal melodies and soulful keys meet vibrant guitar lines, soaring strings, and a powerful rhythm section.
Brothers Ferdia and Oisín were raised in a musical family in County Wicklow. Nurturing a songwriting bond marked by interlocking harmonies, the two have spent over a decade writing and arranging music. With the full live band now in place, their songcraft thrives on stage, earning them a reputation as an electrifying live act.
In 2024, The Fynches spent time in the studio refining their sound, culminating in their debut self-titled album, The Fynches, set for release on 7th October 2025. This record marks the start of a bold new chapter, with an extensive Irish tour to follow and UK and European dates lined up for 2026.
With brooding ballads, raucous crowd-pleasers, and dynamic arrangements, The Fynches’ live show is marked by playfulness and musical virtuosity. The band often switches lead vocal duties between brothers Ferdia and Oisín, offering a unique balance of timbre and synergy.
Oisín honed his skills touring with acts such as Villagers, Flyte, Hudson Taylor, and Bombay Bicycle Club. Ferdia, meanwhile, is also known for his acting career, starring in Sing Street, CODA, Pistol (Danny Boyle), and Four Letters of Love.
Having completed their first Irish tour and performed alongside The Coronas at King John’s Castle, The Fynches are a band poised for great things. This album marks only the beginning.
