"The Whatmans are Europe's top latest indie rock outfit. They consist of John Brennan on vocals, Padar Mulvey on guitar and backing vocals, Francis "Frany" McGinn on bass and Aidan Carolan on drums. Formed in 2007 out of a frustration against what Padar Mulvey describes as a constant stream of over produced safe pop”. The Whatmans are regarded as Ireland’s hardest working bands and have turned heads with a pulsating, high energy, powerful live performance complemented with strong tunes, mixed with a high tempo output.
John Brennan states that “there are no other bands like us out there, When we start to play people stop talking and just sit listening, slowly you see them nodding along to the songs, then they are hooked”. Bassist “Franny” states that “It always amazes me that people come up and say to us, Great show are they covers and what band wrote them.”
There are not many bands out there with a complete 2 hour set of their own strong original material, who can still leave a crowd chanting for more.
