About Scustin

Scustin blur the lines between crowd and artist. There are no spectators at their shows, only participants. It’s a wild celebration of togetherness, where craic, culture, and chaos blend into one unforgettable gig.

With scintillating performances across Ireland, the UK, and the Netherlands, recently supporting Inhaler on their NI / IRE tour in marquee venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, as well as standout festival appearances at Electric Picnic, Latitude, SŴN Festival and Other Voices, Scustin have earned a reputation for high-energy, interactive live shows. Their performances are an electrifying mix. Imagine a panto on crack, or a Guinness-stained, musical orgy featuring Blindboy, Mike Skinner, and Jamiroquai at The Harbour Bar in Bray.

Through their beloved pastime of “Pub Talkin’”, Scustin invites the audience to join them at the table, pint in hand, for a night of storytelling, shenanigans and ‘the craic’ that might echo the vibe of your most revered pub. Scustin leaves audiences with no choice but to dance, sing along, and become part of the community they create at every show.

The band’s 2025 debut concept album Confessions Of A Pub Talker introduces listeners to Larry, a cheeky, charming barman who acts as both narrator and confessor in a fictional Irish pub. But Larry isn’t just a character; he’s a vessel for something much deeper: the lived reality of Irish pub culture as the band has experienced it from both sides of the bar. With Confessions Of A Pub Talker, Scustin flip 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,” says Joe. “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.
