SELL EVERYTHING: The Coolest Band Out of Dublin, Ireland

Dublin's indie music scene has a new trailblazer, and they go by the name SELL EVERYTHING. This electrifying band is rewriting the rules of modern music, blending genres like jazz, grunge, hip-hop, lo-fi, and indie rock into a sound that defies every expectation. Backed by PaperMedia, SELL EVERYTHING is setting the stage for a new era of genre-bending music that demands attention far beyond the streets of Dublin.

A Genre-Defying Sound That's Turning Heads

SELL EVERYTHING is more than just a band — they are a collective of innovators. Formed in 2023, the group features four powerhouse musicians whose combined talents have created a sonic landscape that is impossible to pin down.

At the helm is Tom Kelly, the band's frontman and creative visionary. From busking in Spain to performing in Dublin's hottest venues, Kelly's raw, heartfelt songwriting and visual artistry have been the driving force behind the band's unique aesthetic. Alongside him is Jack, a hyperpop producer and multi-instrumentalist whose experimental edge keeps their music unpredictable and fresh.

The rhythm section boasts serious talent, with Fionn McLaughlin, a highly regarded jazz musician, infusing the band's sound with sophistication, while Oisin, a dynamic percussionist from Greystones, delivers the kind of groove that keeps audiences hooked.

Landlord Blues: The Track That Changed Everything

SELL EVERYTHING's breakthrough came with "Landlord Blues" — a track that has approached 400,000 streams on Spotify and opened doors the band could not have anticipated. As Tom Kelly puts it:

"It kind of solidified with ourselves, our own professionalism and confidence in our sound. We know we're doing something right anyway, so it's a nice feeling."

The song is exactly what you would expect from a band with zero interest in staying in one lane — grunge energy, jazz undertones, and lyrics that cut.

Star Girl: A New Chapter

Their 2025 single "Star Girl" (featuring Patricia Lalor) represents SELL EVERYTHING at their most expansive. The track fuses fuzzy indie rock with groovy synths, resulting in a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly future-forward. Critics called it Track of the Week, and with over half a million catalogue streams already, the band's momentum is undeniable.

Patricia Lalor's vocal contribution adds a delicate, ethereal layer to the band's typically raw sonic palette — a pairing that works because both artists understand restraint as much as they understand noise.

Weedkiller: Raw Energy Distilled

Among their most talked-about tracks, "Weedkiller" showcases the band's ability to lean into tension without releasing it too early. The song has been cited as one of their most sonically cohesive efforts — a slow burn that rewards patient listeners and rewards repeat plays.

Where some of their singles sprint, "Weedkiller" walks. And that contrast is a core part of what makes SELL EVERYTHING such a compelling catalogue to explore from the beginning.

Girls, Girls, Girls and Beyond

Their recent single "girls, girls, girls" continued their hot streak, landing features across indie music blogs internationally. The recording process for the track was led primarily by Fionn McLaughlin on instrumentals, with Tom Kelly layering vocals on top — a process that reflects the band's growing collaborative chemistry.

A larger project is in the works. The band has hinted at something bigger coming — though details remain under wraps.

Inspirations and the Dublin Scene

Tom Kelly cites MJ Lenderman, King Krule, Dean Blunt, and MkGee as major touchstones. But equally important is what is happening around them in Dublin — a city that is, right now, producing some of the most interesting music anywhere in the world.

Bands like Fontaines D.C., Gurriers, and BrickNasty laid the groundwork. SELL EVERYTHING are part of the next wave — and they are very aware of the scene they are building inside of.

Why PaperMedia Is Paying Attention

SELL EVERYTHING checks every box PaperMedia looks for: originality, artistic direction, quality, and a distinct point of view. They are not chasing trends. They are not trying to sound like anyone else. They are building something — song by song, gig by gig — that feels genuinely important.

Dublin has always been a city that produces artists who matter. SELL EVERYTHING are next.
