Shark School - Choose Life

Galway garage rockers Shark School ‘Choose Life’ with their raucous new single, out on Wednesday, 25th September via Strange Brew. You can order the 7” now. The four-piece release the track just before taking Dublin by storm with their Ireland Music Week show on Friday, 4th October in the Workman’s Cellar at 11:10pm. 

Tongue-in-cheek yet cathartic, Shark School jolt themselves out of the doldrums with head-banging guitar on ‘Choose Life’ and order anyone within earshot to “Stop wasting away on your mind numbing shit.” 

The band tell listeners: “Hey there, are you looking to make a decision? Well boy does Shark School have the answer for you! ‘Choose Life’ is a journey through the depths of space and time and into the realm of girl garage. Designed to make you laugh, cry and go, ‘Hmmmm that was lovely,’ this song will have you nodding your head in approval so hard that you'll wake up with whiplash.”

Nora Staunton (guitar, vocals), Peggy Ford (bass), Meg Bruce (percussion, backing vocals) and Cathal Curran (drums) formed Shark School in June of 2023 and have quickly made a name for themselves playing with celebrated Irish acts, including NewDad, The Love Buzz, Elaine Malone and many more. The group have played at the festivals Beyond The Pale, All Together Now, Electric Picnic, Whelan's Ones to Watch and Fall Right Into Place, as well as touring all over Ireland and in the UK. They are known for their energetic sets, punctuated by their sarcastic wit.
