Bucket

Bucket is a three-piece rock band from Dublin, appearing at Sneaky Pete's in Edinburgh. Their sound draws on garage, punk, noise rock, hardcore and industrial music.

Bucket is a Dublin-based trio whose debut album, released only on tape in the second half of 2021, grew out of the do-it-yourself ethics of garage and punk rock. Over time the band added noise rock, hardcore and industrial elements, and it is often described as the loudest act in Ireland, with a stated aim of testing the limits of volume and intensity.

Their live shows are sweaty and punishing. They sold out The Workman's Club on their first headline run and then played a series of DIY shows across Ireland. Their second EP, Mosaic, followed, and they have supported Knocked Loose and played festivals in Europe and the United States.

Critics have been emphatic: Nathan Shepard of BBC 6Music suggested the band should carry a warning, Paul Brannigan of Louder and Metal Hammer called them the loudest act he has seen in four decades of gig-going, and AL Noonan of DIY Magazine described their sound as thundering, bleak and relentlessly powerful. This is a night for listeners drawn to loud, abrasive rock, at Sneaky Pete's, a venue in Edinburgh that hosts concerts and shows.
