Galway's In Athens release new single 'Voltage Party'
In Athens plug themselves into nervy 00's sleaze juice as they head for the indie disco with new single Voltage Party
Single: Voltage Party
Artist: In Athens
Released: October 2 2026
Galway post punk/post gaze four piece In Athens have released Voltage Party, the second track from their debut 7" vinyl single. The first single Dead Reckoning was very warmly received and was Dan Hegarty's single of the week on RTE 2FM.
Voltage Party is an unabashed celebration of the early-00s indie dancefloor: think the Yeah Yeah Yeahs meets Queens of the Stone Age. It is the flip side (literally in the case of the vinyl 7" single) of Dead Reckoning's steady clipped pulse and detached, ethereal vocal delivery. If that was the band staying in listening to Mogwai on headphones, Voltage Party is them heading out into New York City for a raucous big one.
Voltage Party is an ode to the things that fire up our nervous systems. The band push the tempo harder than before, with wiry guitars, a grimy and motorik rhythm section and a call-and-response chorus that's built to be shouted back.
The band relate: "We wanted to push ourselves sideways with this one, to write something made for a packed dance floor in a small, sweaty venue. It's a song we can really let loose on live, too. We couldn't imagine anyone but Dan Doherty producing it. He's a master at capturing a sense of electricity in the studio."
