Pranks are a two piece grunge rock band based in Dublin.

Friends since primary school, Micheal Sheil (Guitar and vocals) and Gearoid Connaughton (Drums) have a wealth of musical experience.

For the last ten years, the two have been honing their seperate skills. Micheal, producer and guitar wizard with Roscommon based ‘We Town Criers’, and Geariod as drummer with ‘Daisy Chopper’, who has performed alongside rock heavyweights like Queens of the Stone Age, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

In 2014, their love of big, fuzzy, noisy riffs brought them together to create Pranks...a minimalist supergroup.

The two are finding the process of creating music together liberating. “As a two-piece, creating a sound as big as this is fascinating. We love to experiment with analogue and digital technology, to see how far it can take us. ..”

Pranks debut EP ‘New Friend’ will be released in early 2015.

"The Galway lads unassuming stage presence is the perfect foil to the assured sonic assault they're capable of unleashing. They truly are ones to watch"
- The Ticket, The Irish Times.

"Expansive, energetic and anthemic, it's a Godzilla-sized monster boasting melodies that could level a mountain" 
- HotPress (IRL)

"This is high-energy, exciting alternative rock with uplifting catchy hooks and plenty of forays into heavy guitar moments. On paper that may sound difficult to achieve, or even a recipe for disaster, but Olympians is a class EP and demonstrates the talent these guys obviously have."
- TXFM (Dublin,IRL)

"Wouldn't it be cool if Queens Of The Stone Age collaborated with ASIWYFA? And what if it was produced by Matt Bellamy? That sounds positively beastly, doesn't it? Could it ever happen? Probably not. But you know what, it doesn't need to as such a combination was under our noses all along. Galway’s Race The Flux have been making a name for themselves on the live circuit for some time."
