The rise and rise of Florence Road from Bray has been further underlined and endorsed.
The Wicklow quartet have emerged as the Hot Press Readers’ Poll's Most Promising Act of the Year, marking them out as one of the standout emerging Irish names in this year’s results.
They Florence-four appear alongside major winners like CMAT and Fontaines D.C., but their category win is specifically about momentum and future potential rather than established success.
It reflects a strong surge in support from Hot Press readers over the past year, putting them on the radar as a rising act in Irish music.
The alternative indie band has been widely tipped for global success, following massive praise from BBC Radio 1 and the release of their debut mixtape Fall Back.
Florence Road’s ‘Spring Forward’ is out now via Warner Records UK. They are currently on tour in the UK.
