REALLY GOOD TIME
Whelan’s, Dublin • Thur 30th October 2025

When most bands get round to releasing album number five their sound, weighed down by expectation or having resorted to formula, has generally ossified. It might still sound good and fans will probably lap it up, but the days of adventure and exploration are quite often long gone.
Warmduscher are not most bands. Rather than closing up shop, on album number five – the magical Too Cold To Hold – they are most determinedly opening up. Taking on board the repetitive and polyrhythmic grooves of gqom (an alluring South African take on house music), adding in a dash of hip hop flavours and even jazz, and then harnessing that to their punk-funk, disco pogo, it’s a spellbinding mix that results in their best and most ambitious album to date. You could say they – the wonderful 12-legged groove machine comprised of Clams Baker Jr., Benjamin Romans Hopcraft, Adam J. Harmer, Marley Mackey, Quinn Whalley, and Bleu Ottis Wright – were, in fact, just getting started.
One of the many aces in new album Too Cold To Hold is that not only does it give people what they want, it also provides what they need. Having come off tour enthused about what the future held for the band, Clams and Ben in particular, “wanted to use the energy of the live shows and put it into something creative rather than turn it into one big hangover.”
Ben notes the title also is a nice little rejoinder to those who think they’ve got Warmduscher pegged. “We’re such a diverse bunch of people,” he concludes. “Not only our personalities, but also stylistically, artistically, and calling our album that does remind me of the idea of not being able to put us into one place and to think we’re designed to be held in a position.”
Warmduscher then; don’t define them, just enjoy them.
