Irish alt-rock trio Foot Squeaker have just released their latest single, ‘Medals‘.
Frontman Diarmuid Comerford (Vocals/Guitars) penned the track, channeling the band’s sharp eye for lyrical storytelling into a melody that balances grit with infectious energy. Alongside him, Mike Lynch (Drums/Vocals) drives the song with his trademark explosive percussion and harmonies, while Richard Deering (Bass/Vocals), the newest addition to the lineup since 2023, anchors the sound with fresh energy that has transformed the trio’s dynamic.
‘Medals‘ is the first song to fully showcase this renewed chemistry.
“Medals marks a significant milestone for us. It’s the first song born from our new chapter with Richard on bass, and it carries the energy he’s brought to the band. Lyrically, it’s a reflection on resilience—on whether giving every child a medal for simply taking part truly helps, or if it takes away the lessons that come from losing and trying again.” – Foot Squeaker
The song wrestles with a modern paradox: in our quest to protect young hearts, are we shielding them from the experiences that build resilience? Foot Squeaker don’t offer answers—they pose the question through soaring guitars, pounding drums, and a bassline that ties it all together.
This latest release follows the band’s prolific 2024 Ubh Bhriste Tour and two 2025 singles (Birdline and 60 Beats). Known for their massive live sound and uncompromising DIY ethos, Foot Squeaker have recently stepped away from social media, choosing instead to focus on what matters most: writing songs, delivering unforgettable live shows, and connecting with fans in real life.
Upcoming Gigs:
- McDowells, Inchicore, Dublin – November 13th
- Loch Garman Arms, Gorey, Wexford – December 22nd
