About us


Cars In Walls formed in December 2006 around frontman Peter O’Sullivan. Although the band had previously been through numerous incarnations based around Peter’s music, the current line-up represents a true collective and collaborative entity, a step forward musically for all involved. Drawing comparisons to Arcade Fire and Sigur Ros amongst others, the bands music is a true mix of stark fragility and huge, roaring noise.

Following the recording of debut single “Teacup” featuring Nina Hynes (due out 26/11/2007) with producer Ross O’Donovan (Waiting Room, Hooray For Humans), the band set about honing their unique songs into a razor sharp collection of epic, weird and wonderful pieces to take to audiences nationwide. Early outings drew numerous plaudits from local press around their hometown of Bath and spurred the band into booking a countrywide tour of Ireland. Following the great success of the tour, including national radio airplay and press coverage, the band are returning to Ireland on 24/11/2007 to showcase dynamic new material before heading to the studio in the new year.


"From hushed beginnings, Cars in Walls gradually build from an indie-orientated Mogwai circular motif, adding layer upon layer to create a sweeping wide screen sound in much the same vein as Icelandic dream weavers Sigur Ros. Its epic stuff to be sure, packed full of floating other-worldly melodies and ascending spiralling guitars". Graham Lynch, Cork Independent, July 2007.

“Picture Sonic Youth doing a more Pink Floydish cinematic thing… Augmented with Bjork's oddness and lots of Mogwai.. all very experimental and post rockish… female/male fronted escapists… well done for that.” Bugbear Bookings
