---------------------------------

Since their formation in 2010, The Altered Hours have evolved into one of Ireland’s most compelling bands, known for their immersive sound and magnetic live presence. Over the course of three albums, three EPs, and a stream of digital releases on independent labels like A Recordings, Penske Recordings, Art For Blind, and Pizza Pizza Records, the group has released a body of work that is as emotionally charged as it is sonically expansive. A body of work that oscillates between garage rock, psychedelia, shoegaze textures, driving rhythms and slow-burning melodies.

Releases such as their Sweet Jelly Roll EP (2013), recorded in Anton Newcombe’s Berlin studio; their debut full-length In Heat Not Sorry (2016), recorded in the iconic Funkhaus; and their self-produced Convertible (2018) have led the group to embark on multiple tours of Europe & the U.K, playing shows in venues ranging from churches and club venues to DIY basement gigs. They’ve supported legendary acts like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Pop Group and Fontaines DC and have been joined onstage by members of Spacemen 3, affirming their place in the lineage of boundary-pushing guitar music.

In 2025 The band released their third LP on Dundalk’s artist-led label Pizza Pizza Records. Produced by Julie McLarnon, the record distills the essence of a group that has unmistakable chemistry. Anchored in their signature distortion-soaked jangle, the album dives into direct and soulful territory and unveils the heart of their songwriting spirit.
