Shark School release ferocious debut album "Selachimorpha' via Strange Brew
Galway garage-punk trio Shark School unleash their long-awaited debut album
Selachimorpha, a furious, funny, cathartic and uncompromising introduction to
one of Irelands most exciting new bands. Arriving via Strange Brew, the record is
led by the albums centrepiece and focus track, Shark Song.
Part battle cry, part mission statement, Shark Song captures everything that
has made Shark School such a thrilling proposition since emerging from
Galways underground scene. Driven by wiry guitars, pounding rhythms and the
bands trademark combination of humour, chaos and confrontation, the track
embodies the restless energy running throughout the entire record.
Across eight tracks, Selachimorpha explores anger, anxiety, identity, frustration
and survival through a lens that is both deeply personal and sharply observant.
Whether confronting societal hypocrisy, internal turmoil or the absurdity of
modern life, Shark School refuse to soften the edges. Instead, they transform
discomfort into something exhilarating.
Already known for selling out Galways iconic Risn Dubh twice, sharing stages
with NewDad, The Love Buzz and Elaine Malone, and appearing at major festivals
including Electric Picnic, All Together Now and Beyond The Pale, Shark School
have rapidly become one of Irelands most talked-about new live acts.
Now, with Selachimorpha, they deliver a debut that feels both timely and
timeless; a record fuelled by frustration, friendship, feminism, and fearless self
expression.
