Shark School - Selachimorpha

Shark School release ferocious debut album "Selachimorpha' via Strange Brew
Galway garage-punk trio Shark School unleash their long-awaited debut album
‘Selachimorpha’, a furious, funny, cathartic and uncompromising introduction to
one of Ireland’s most exciting new bands. Arriving via Strange Brew, the record is
led by the album’s centrepiece and focus track, “Shark Song”.
Part battle cry, part mission statement, “Shark Song” captures everything that
has made Shark School such a thrilling proposition since emerging from
Galway’s underground scene. Driven by wiry guitars, pounding rhythms and the
band’s trademark combination of humour, chaos and confrontation, the track
embodies the restless energy running throughout the entire record.
Across eight tracks, ‘Selachimorpha’ explores anger, anxiety, identity, frustration
and survival through a lens that is both deeply personal and sharply observant.
Whether confronting societal hypocrisy, internal turmoil or the absurdity of
modern life, Shark School refuse to soften the edges. Instead, they transform
discomfort into something exhilarating.
Already known for selling out Galway’s iconic Róisín Dubh twice, sharing stages
with NewDad, The Love Buzz and Elaine Malone, and appearing at major festivals
including Electric Picnic, All Together Now and Beyond The Pale, Shark School
have rapidly become one of Ireland’s most talked-about new live acts.
Now, with ‘Selachimorpha’, they deliver a debut that feels both timely and
timeless; a record fuelled by frustration, friendship, feminism, and fearless self
expression.
