Punk Powerhouse Numbskull Narrative deliver latest stunner

Music Review | 4th Oct, 2025 Numbskull Narrative

Galway-based punk rock trio Numbskull Narrative are quickly carving out a name for themselves in Ireland’s buzzing punk scene, and they’re doing it with nothing but raw energy, grit, and a whole lot of heart.

Formed back in 2022, Numbskull Narrative channel all the chaos of overthinking and self-sabotage into blistering punk anthems that feel as cathartic as they are loud. It’s punk therapy, music that hits hard and speaks honestly about resilience and mental health.

True to their DIY spirit, the band does everything themselves, recording, producing, designing artwork, the whole lot. They’ve built their sound (and their image) from the ground up, staying fully independent and unapologetically authentic.

Their debut release, Maintenance (2022), set the tone: fast, fierce, and full of emotion. Since then, they’ve been dropping a string of high-energy tracks that only push things further. Now, with an EP due out in late October, the lads latest single, Flake, is a wild ride.

Flake explodes right from the first second, with gritty guitar riffs, pounding drums, and a snarling vocal that captures the band’s signature sound perfectly. It’s raw, it’s unapologetic, and it’s everything you want from modern Irish punk.

If Flake is anything to go by, this upcoming EP is going to hit hard. Keep an ear out, Numbskull Narrative are just getting started.
