Somebody’s Child is a rising force in modern rock known for their dynamic sound and raw, heartfelt songwriting. Led by frontman Cian Godfrey, the Dublin-based band has built a reputation for electrifying live performances, selling out venues across the UK, Ireland, and continental Europe, and sharing stages with the War on Drugs, Bloc Party, and Kings of Leon. Their self-titled debut album in 2023 cemented them as a standout act, with anthemic tracks like “Broken Record,” “I Need Ya,” and “We Could Start a War” resonating with fans. In 2024, they took even bigger strides, including a milestone headline show at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre and a main-stage performance at Electric Picnic.Determined to evolve beyond indie-rock conventions, Somebody’s Child constantly pushes their creative boundaries. Their second album, When Youth Fades Away, recorded in Connecticut with Grammy-winning producer Peter Katis (the National, Interpol), explores new sonic territory, influenced in part by electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk.
Released in March 2025, the record embraces change both sonically and thematically, reflecting on the realities of growing older—not with nostalgia, but with a hunger for reinvention. As Godfrey puts it, “There is no Somebody’s Child—it’s just a figment of our imaginations allowing us to process our lives.”
Somebody’s Child will bring When Youth Fades Away to North America in February 2026 as part of an extensive touring schedule.
