Florence Road is an Irish rock band formed in Bray, County Wicklow in 2019. The group consists of lead singer and guitarist Lily Aron, guitarist Emma Brandon, bassist Ailbhe Barry, and drummer Hannah Kelly. They gained recognition in 2025 following the release of their single, “Heavy”, but had built a platform on TikTok prior to this by covering music from other artists.
The band signed to Warner Records the fast-rising Irish band released their mixtape ‘Fall Back’ in June. This was their first release on a major label, and followed-up by the breezy single ‘Break The Girl’, in September. Over recent weeks, the group have been on tour around Australia opening for Royel Otis, and during the run, they made an appearance on an Aussie radio station to perform a one-off cover version of Phoebe Bridgers’ ‘Georgia’ for the ‘Like a Version’ series.
“Obviously, we were quite wary of being seen as just a TikTok cover band or not a real band, and that was something we were nervous about,” singer Lily Aron said. “But since we’ve started releasing and doing a whole bunch of gigs, the response has been so wonderful and it’s been a nice sigh of relief.
“We played a headline gig for the EP release, and I took my ear out during ‘Heavy’, and people were screaming the lyrics. The feeling is so crazy, that we created these words, and people are really feeling them.”
Coming this spring is Florence Road’s debut mixtape, ‘Fall Back’. Spearheaded by their knockout debut single ‘Heavy’, the mixtape sees the girls get in the room with big-name producers faster than they could’ve ever imagined.
