Really Good Time are a band from Dublin, that sound like ‘Vertigo’ era U2 covering Viagra Boys, or early Pixies and LCD Soundsystem records in a blender with some cheap speed. Their music toes the line between noisy and melodic, weird and anthemic. In their two years of existence, their mission has always been about finding ecstatic release within a crowd of bodies, moving together amidst waves of amplification.
The band began as friends, meeting many years ago while sharing small stages and warm beer playing with different acts within Dublin’s close-knit music scene. As they started playing together, a set of guiding principles emerged: if something isn’t immediately exciting, discard it or speed it up. If there’s ever a concern that something is too cheesy/poppy or too weird/noisy, eliminate that worry by leaning into it. If a song doesn’t feel like it would be unbelievably fun to gig, it isn’t for this band.
Since then, they have sold out headlines in Dublin, independently toured the UK, and built a loyal following around a live show like bottled lightning and a couple of singles and videos that have firmly established their own world of art-rock bravado. In this world, it makes perfect sense for an emerging act to declare themselves the greatest band on earth and to give their second music video a red carpet premiere at a local pub.
After a summer that saw Really Good Time take larger stages, supporting Franz Ferdinand at Collins Barracks and storming the Something Kind of Wonderful Tent at All Together, RGT released their debut EP ‘Escape From the Mountain of Spit’ via Everybody’s. The EP and lead single received high praise from Steve Lamacq, drawing favorable comparisons to early QOTSA and The Walkmen on his roundtable review. The release was supported by a run of showcase festivals in the UK at the start of October and a spate of Irish shows supporting The Scratch and The Murder Capital in November. Closing out a bumper year with debut performances at Other Voices in Dingle and a festive Dublin headline in December.
Really Good Time kicked the doors in on 2024, with their single ‘Retreat to the Cubicle’ and accompanying music video prompting Rolling Stone to warn viewers ‘Sensitive eyes, look away now!’. With the imminent release of their double A-side ‘Beware, The Wish’ landing on Good Friday, RGT look toward a year measured on a biblical scale
