Big Sleep are a Dublin four-piece blending alt-rock, indie-soul and post-punk, drawing comparisons to The Cure, Pixies and Big Thief. The band - vocalist Rónán Connolly, Italian drummer Matteo Poli, bassist Aidan Gray and guitarist Naiara Clarke LaFuente - built their name through relentless touring, from tunnel shows under the M50 to sold-out venues across London, Berlin and Amsterdam. Their debut album 'Holy Show', released in January 2026 on LAB Records, was awarded 9/10 by Hot Press. The Irish phrase 'holy show' - a scene of emotional chaos you can't look away from - gives the record both its title and its thematic spine.
