"Sizing Up" is an art/alt rock track about getting constant critique and pressure from others and choosing to outgrow it. Set in a dim bedroom lit only by a lamp, with someone creeping outside the door, the song captures the moment you realise you need to break free. With cutting guitars akin to Muse, Fiona Apple-esque vocals, and a synth pulse inspired by New Order, it's a cathartic release captured in song.
about
Dublin art-pop band iNNUENDO are bringing a bold and vibrant world of sonic colour to the Irish music scene. Founded in 2022, the 4-piece blends contrasting influences to create the kind of music they’ve always wanted to hear—dynamic, catchy, and unapologetically unique.
Described by RTE 2's Dan Hegarty as “music you feel obligated to share with anyone who will listen,” their sound combines a modern edge with a nostalgic and contagious energy, showcased in their charismatic and eclectic live sets. Drawing inspiration from alt-rock and art-pop legends like Kate Bush, XTC, and David Bowie, iNNUENDO also weaves in the melodic charm of indie and dance favourites like The Strokes and LCD Soundsystem.
Their debut EP, On Occasion, released in September 2024 on Blowtorch Records, has been described by David Carr in The Goo as having an irresistible energy and delivering unforgettable hooks, as well as being celebrated by Nialler9, Hot Press, GoldenPlec, and So Young. With a sold-out physical release of their debut EP, packed venues across their Irish and UK tour, standout performances at showcases like Whelan’s Ones to Watch, and shared bills with rising acts such as Skinner, Adore, and Theatre, the band has built serious momentum.
iNNUENDO’s highly anticipated sophomore EP ventures into fresh sonic territory, focusing on creating concise, catchy and high-energy tracks designed to grab your attention and leave you wanting more. Inspired by artists like Talking Heads, The Police, The Lemon Twigs, and Geese, the new material, beginning with the release of their upcoming single ‘Rosemary’ (Oct 1st, 2025), which marks the beginning of an exciting resurgence for the band.
our debut ep
On Occasion navigates the emotional highs and lows of taxing, undefined relationships, capturing the journey from delusion to acceptance through rich sonic soundscapes and heartfelt hooks. Influenced by the expressive and experimental nature of art rock, iNNUENDO's sound delivers a first-hand narrative that reflects the complexity of these experiences. Themes of defiance, misunderstanding, and rejection run throughout the tracks, resonating with the challenges faced by today’s youth. On Occasion is more than just a collection of songs—it's a journey toward self-acceptance and emotional clarity, offering listeners a powerful soundtrack to their own struggles and triumphs.
