Somebody's Child: When Youth Fades Away UK/EU 2025

Somebody’s Child are one of the most exciting new names in modern rock — known for their dynamic sound and raw, emotionally charged songwriting. Fronted by Cian Godfrey, the Dublin-based band have earned a stellar reputation for their high-energy live performances, selling out shows across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe, and sharing stages with acts such as The War on Drugs, Bloc Party, and Kings of Leon. Their 2023 self-titled debut album cemented their status as a standout force on the scene, with anthems like “Broken Record”, “I Need Ya”, and “We Could Start a War”capturing the hearts of fans worldwide. The year 2024 brought further milestones — including a breakthrough headline show at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre and an appearance on the main stage at Electric Picnic.

Determined to push beyond the confines of indie rock, Somebody’s Child continue to expand their artistic horizons. Their sophomore album, When Youth Fades Away, recorded in Connecticut with Grammy Award–winning producer Peter Katis (known for his work with The National and Interpol), marks a bold evolution of their sound. Drawing inspiration from electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk, the record delves into themes of change — both sonic and emotional — reflecting on growing up not through nostalgia, but with an insatiable hunger for reinvention.

As Cian Godfrey puts it:

“There’s no such thing as Somebody’s Child — it’s just a creation of our imagination that helps us process our own lives.”
