LaFaro

The Belfast, Northern Ireland-based alternative rock act, LaFaro, writes embittered songs with lyrics that often ponder on struggles the group's city has gone through in the past. Founded in 2004 with a quasi-punk approach to writing songs, LaFaro has become a prominent fixture of the Belfast music scene. With a singer who sounds like he eats shards of glass during his downtime, the group is well-suited for the dank back ally pubs and music halls it predominantly plays. The band has been known to incite livid reactions amongst audiences at live shows with its intense rock sound, and these crowd sentiments have helped solidify LaFaro's reputation as one of the noteworthy bands to have emerged out of the Northern Ireland music scene.
