Bio

Coloured in empathy, adorned in storytelling and a touch of underlying humor, Irish band Factotem deliver pop-punk, rock and emo infused music that can make you laugh, cry, and dance all in one song. They've shared the stage with many bands such as Kodaline, Mindriot Mt., Red Sun Alert, The Last Vinci & Audible Joes to name a few. Receiving plays on many stations including RedFm, KCLR, and Radió Na Life, and features in The Echo and Golden Plec.

Their first release Tangent was a raw EP with primitive songs and teenage thoughts. Sine Language saw their songwriting mature, from a DIY rock/punk sound to a pop-punk/emo inspired sound, with driving riffs and lyrics from the perspective of early adulthood. A second EP quickly followed up Sine Language, with songwriting quality surpassing the album. She’s Strange but She’s Nice and Body Language are still a staple of every live performance.

The next album, A Build Up To Nothing, was originally intended to be released in 2019 however, lock-downs happened. This along with life, lineup changes and side projects Factotem decided to delay the release. Until now, the date is set, the band is rehearsed and all systems are go. A Build Up To Nothing will be a further entry into mixing of styles, intricate lyrics, and harmonies to raise hairs on necks. The songs have been battle tested and incrementally improved over the last few years. A Build Up To Nothing promises candy coated hooks, raging riffs and your next favorite weekend anthem.
