Galway's noise terrorists Slyrydes have released a new single Famous To Five Million with their debut album What Happens If You Get Happy set for release on July 28
Track: Famous To Five Million
Band: Slyrydes
Released: July 18 2025
The lauded and much loved Galway band Slyrydes have given us a new single Famous To Five Million to celebrate the imminent release of their long-awaited full-length release What Happens If You Get Happy?
Uncompromising and uncategorisable, Slyrydes have always been a band with something to say - in their own way. Formed in 2013, their raw, unfiltered brand of chaotic punk noise earned them critical acclaim for a string of singles exploring mental health, addiction, and the darker edges of modern life. Now, after years of personal growth and collective survival, we will finally get to hear What Happens If You Get Happy, as it releases July 28 on all streaming platforms, with a vinyl release to follow.
The 12-track album has emerged from the personal difficulties of the band and wider calamities such as the Covid pandemic. Six of its tracks have never been heard before. It’s a record that asks big questions but doesn’t flinch from the answers.
“From the beginning, we said we wanted to make important music, the kind that mattered to people,” says guitarist Eoin Reilly. “We really lived it. Now we are in a healthier place to put this music out and give it the platform it deserves”
“We’ve bled for this record — literally and figuratively.” Mark Raftery
“It’s been a long road, but maybe we needed that time apart to figure out who we really are. This album is our story.” Mark Comer
