New single coming 28th June, World Beneath The Waves

The Mighty Stef began with Singer and Songwriter Stefan Murphy from Dublin in Ireland. Starting his quest as a one man show he has since included in his band a huge number of different local musicians and friends. 

Together they have toured extensively, recorded 3 full length albums and earned the respect of audiences and listeners in many corners of the world. The most recent album 'TMS and The Baptists' was made in Berlin with 'The Baptists' two of whom now form the foundation of the current TMS line-up, namely Gary Lonergan and Brian Gallagher. 

The sound has evolved and revolved around Murphys streetwise storytelling. elements of folk, blues and country, fused with rock n roll and some poppy hooks are always present. The live shows over the years have ranged from earnest solo performances, Furious punk shows akin to the house-party days of 'The Libertines' up to the present day where the gigs can be as passionate as Springsteen and as euphoric as the Arcade Fire. 

A new record will be recorded in 2011 that will finally try to capture the sound of a band that are really finding their stride with a leader that is looking more determined than ever.

The TreeSleepers are a five piece from West Cork, playing original funky music to make ya wanna dance. They have been gigging together for four years and their distinct blend of genres and energetic live shows have been know to leave audiences half naked. From time to time they lose their drumkit in favour of a cajon or bongos for more intimate live shows.

At the end of 2011 they released their debut ep, Phantasmagoria, which received many positive reviews and now they are working on their first full length album, due for release in summer 2014.

Drop-D described them; “Their mongrel mix of blues, indie, punk and pop has been slowly perfected,” the five piece look“immediately comfortable on a major stage.”

Chew Your Own Fat said; "The TreeSleepers are an eclectic band with a plethora of instruments to hand, should a song be in need of a hint of banjo, or a sax solo. There is little to fault this band; they have all the elements of band that sets out to astound listeners be it via a recording or live on stage"

With WeAreNoise calling them; “ all dreads, beards, army boots and attitude. They deliver a relentless good time beat.”

In short, "There’s a refreshing take-it-or-leave it kind of buzz to The Treesleepers. Upfront. Unaffected. Goes well with whiskey and a sneer.” (Culch.ie)
