Goy Boy McIlroy are an alt blues band from the Northeast of England. It would be easy to describe their background using the clichéd stereotype of a grey and dreary skyline clogged up with factories and massive chimneys spewing out black clouds of smoke, but Darlington is different to its industrial neighbours. It is a small Quaker market town void of hope and filled with apathy and closed mindedness. It is from that bleak social landscape that they draw their inspiration.
They effortlessly blend rock, blues and post-punk influences to create a “Crazy blues wailin’ righteous racket that embraces Beefheart and the Delta in equal measure”
The commanding baritone vocals of frontman David Saunders combined with the heavy, warlike drums and the expansive, distorted charge of the guitar and bass create an army of sound that assaults the senses, invades the brain and captures your imagination. 
“On stage they are raw and overwhelming with explosive bursts of intense energy that create as much suspense and as many twists as an Alfred Hitchcock film.”
On 24th September they release ‘Black Glove’ and ‘The Pilgrim’ as a double A-side single via iTunes, Amazon. Get It.

“A heartfelt deep and dirty blues rock homage done with true GRIT! – Dublin Castle

 “Like watching a dark, bluesy production of the Wizard Of Oz.” – The Crack Magazine, August 2012

“Could they be the North East’s best kept secret?” – NARC magazine May 2012

“Like a car crash between The Doors and The Eighties Matchbox B Line Disaster” - Metro

Goy Boy McIlroy - The Actor

Goy Boy McIlroy - John The Revelator (Blind Willie Johnson Cover)

Goy Boy McIlroy are a neo-gothic, alt-blues band that create a carnival atmosphere whilst purveying a sinister soundscape of raw drive and industrial ambience. Their energy and unsettling charm draws you ever closer as they relentlessly provide chills and thrills in equal measures. The avant-garde exterior occupies your gaze allowing the music to surround you, knock you off your feet and drag you into the darkened alleyways of your imagination.

Their new single “Social Mobility Blues” is available 30th August as a free download via Facebook.

“They're all dense guitar loops, shoegaze-tinged fuzz and singer David Saunders’ Interpol-esque vocal." - NME

“Like the zombified bastard child of Bauhaus and Kyuss.” – Artrocker

“Climatic beats, raw, pounding riffs and an intense, theatrical vibe.” - Gigslutz

 “Gothic atmosphere, dirty riffs, and more than a splash of unexpected camp.” – ThereGoesTheFear

 “If you need a signpost, the nearest is probably the darker elements of Joy Division, tinged with elements of seventies blues.” – Louder Than War
