Dublin’s For Nina are making waves, and their new single Hounds is proof they’re ready to shake things up. With their latest track, the three-piece is boldly stepping into a fresh chapter, blending soaring guitars, pounding drums, and a chorus that perfectly captures the exhilarating uncertainty of being in your twenties.
After a year of rapid momentum – from a packed debut at Whelan’s to a sold-outb headline show at Dublin’s Workman’s Club – Hounds marks a powerful evolution for the band. Formed in 2023 after college connections sparked their love for alternative rock, For Nina quickly turned heads by mixing contrasting musical ideas into something truly original. Their breakthrough performance at Ireland Music Week in 2024, celebrating their first anniversary, set the stage for this new release.
Reflecting on the creative process, the band explains, “The track came out of nothing really. We were just jamming over the main riff, and everything just clicked. In about half an hour, the song was born. The chorus was crafted to capture that wild, uncertain chaos of being ‘twenty-something’ – a time when our college challenges really hit hard, but somehow those struggles led to something great.”
With more fresh tunes on the horizon and a growing live following, For Nina is a band you definitely want to keep on your radar.
Listen to Hounds and experience the raw energy of For Nina as they continue to redefine Dublin’s music scene.
