SCUSTIN HAVE BEEN ADDED AS SUPPORT FOR INHALER

“As funny as it is sharp…loud, witty, and proudly Irish” – Amplify The Noise
“Storming, raving, furiously impelling…raises the pulse” – Vanguard Online
“Undeniable energy and charisma” – Hot Press Magazine
“A heavy dose of fun and swagger” – Vanyaland
“Post-punk disco poets” – Louder Than War
“Irish tracks of the week” – The Thin Air
“Riotous” – Golden Plec

Dublin’s own genre bending post-punk quartet are proud to announce that they will be supporting global indie rock powerhouse, Inhaler on their upcoming October 2025 dates. The tour will see Scustin play in some of the UK and NI’s most prestigious venues including two nights in Ulster Hall (Belfast), Corn Exchange (Edinburgh), Guildhall (Portsmouth), finishing up in the iconic Royal Albert Hall (London).

The 19th of September saw Scustin release their highly anticipated debut album Confessions Of A Pub Talker, which is available now on all streaming services.

Recorded and produced by Richie Kennedy (The Murder Capital, RIDE, Interpol, Shame) at Black Mountain Studios, Confessions Of A Pub Talker is a thoroughly modern take on the concept record, telling the story of Larry, a barman in his mid-to-late 20s struggling to find his way amidst the social and economic uncertainties of modern Irish life.

With Confessions Of A Pub Talker, Scustin flips the stereotype of Irish drinking culture on its head. Rather than depicting the pub as a site of excess, they portray it as a communal refuge.

“We wanted to push back against the cliché,” they say. “The pub isn’t about getting locked. It’s about love, grief, business ideas, confessions—it’s all there. And Larry is the guy who sees it all.” Through Larry, Scustin weaves stories full of heart and humour, turning each track into a snapshot of life in the public house, complete with its messy, magical humanity.

The album was preceded with a string of impactful single releases including ‘Charmer’, ‘The Ick (Don’t Put Blackcurrant In That Pint Of Guinness)’, ‘I’m Never Flying With Ryanair Again’, ‘Our Regards’, and ‘Drinking Cans In A Field With Matt Damon’ which won high-profile fans in contemporariesKojaque, Gurriers, Inhaler and Fontaines DC, and press coverage from Hot Press, Irish News, The Irish Mirror, Golden Plec, Nialler 9, Vanyaland, Louder Than War and more.

Tracks from the record have been added to Apple Music’s official New in Alternative and New in Rock playlists, with further support from The Thin Air, BBC Radio Ulster, RTÉ 2XM, Total Rock, Amazing Radio and more.
