Press Kit
Bullet Girl are a four piece punk band from North Dublin. Bullet Girl have been cutting their teeth on the Dublin music scene for the last few years with their incendiary unpredictable live shows and confrontational social commentary.
The band sold out a Thomas House show for March 2020 and secured an Aiken Eastbound gig before the pandemic struck and both gigs were cancelled, along with a planned Irish Tour. The band were also due to make their Electric Picnic debut in September of that year on a brand new stage.
They capped off 2020 however with an exclusive livestream in the renowned Mike The Pies, which was viewed by over 2500 people on the night and a Radio Nova sponsored Oblivion Live Session which raked up over 50,000 views online.
At the tail end of 2020 they were named 'Ones to Watch 2021' by The Daily Mail and The Last Mixed Tape named their single 'Panic 2020' one of the best singles of the year.
In 2021, Bullet Girl sold out two headline shows in Button Factory and Mike The Pies before heading off to the UK in November on a five date headline tour in support of their single 'The Hunt'. Their homecoming show in The Top Deck, Dun Laoghaire was named the third best show of 2021 by the Irish Daily Mail.
In April 2022 they will release their debut EP 'Talking Pony' produced by Daniel Fox of Girl Band.
'Talking Pony' was written during lockdown as the band reflected on their working class upbringing and dealt with issues such as toxic masculinity in working class Dublin, the emigration of close friends, a culture of violence within young men, depression and the changing landscape of their hometown.

"Bullet Girl? Tell me more.
They’re another Dublin act ready to make waves in 2021.
The post-punk four-piece have built up a massive reputation in Ireland for their powerful live performances and gritty take on modern life in Dublin City. Raucous single Concrete Bed, produced by Daniel Fox from Girl Band, tackles drug culture, homelessness and modern despair in their home town. It seems Ireland is a real hotbed of talent right now.
Like Sprints and TV People, they look to follow the leads of Irish acts Fontaines D.C., The Murder Capital, and Just Mustard in breaking out beyond the Emerald Isle. They’re also set to play a headline show at London’s famous Dublin Castle in April."

“With a slew of new releases over the past few months, Dublin’s very own post-punk rockers Bullet Girl are marked as one of the chief outfits of the local scene who refuse to conform to the detriments of the current social climate. The group’s latest single “Hatred” is the second in a series of songs recorded and produced with Daniel Fox of Girl Band fame.”
By Joe Coughlan
“Guitarist - Dylan Keenan, singer - Aaron Doyle, bassist - Tony Keyes and drummer Noel Dempsey have been reporting back from the frontlines, informed by drugs, dodgy nights-out, fights and turbulent relationships that your twenties bring all anchored by the backdrop of Dublin for several years now.”
By Stephen Byrne
“Delving into new musical territory, guitarist Dylan Keenan, singer Aaron Doyle, bassist Tony Keyes and drummer Noel Dempsey have created a single that pushes the boundaries of their sound.”
