JOE’s Song Of The Day #655: Saarloos ‘Changes’

Eric Lalor

Saarloos

Saarloos look like they mean business.

Saarloos are a new Dublin band consisting of acclaimed songwriters Craig Gallagher and Brian McGovern (formerly of Fallen Drakes).

They have just released their debut single, ‘Changes’, which has received strong radio support in Ireland as well as reaching over one million streams on Spotify, making them the most streamed new Irish band of 2018 to date.

They’ve recently added Andy Kavanagh to the ranks and he joined the lads at their Electric Picnic gig for his live debut with the band.

Saarloos shared a stage with Gavin James on his sold-out European tour this summer and just played Electric Picnic’s Cosby Stage. They are now getting ready for their own Irish, UK and Dutch tour starting this November, with Irish tour tickets on sale now.

‘Changes’ is a track which showcases the lads’ vocals perfectly. Two powerhouse vocal performances and great production mean we have a band who look like they’re here for the long haul.

The lads are about to embark on a tour in November, but you can catch them live tonight (21 September) in the Róisín Dubh in Galway as part of Culture Night.
