Girls Names

Formed specifically to open for Wavves at a 2009 gig in Belfast, over the last four years Girls Names has expanded from a duo to a four-piece and has expanded greatly on the sonic scope of their music. Inspired by the dreary and bleak-sounding music of countless native bands, the fourth release from Belfast’s Girls Names finds them dropping in on the recent wave of post-punk revivalism.

It’s no surprise that both factors have inspired countless native bands to make dreary and bleak-sounding music over the years, and the fourth release from Belfast’s Girls Names, last year’s somewhat ironically titled The New Life, finds them dropping in on the recent wave of post-punk revivalism.
