Goy Boy McIlroy are a neo-gothic, alt-blues band that create a carnival atmosphere whilst purveying a sinister soundscape of raw drive and industrial ambience. Their energy and unsettling charm draws you ever closer as they relentlessly provide chills and thrills in equal measures. The avant-garde exterior occupies your gaze allowing the music to surround you, knock you off your feet and drag you into the darkened alleyways of your imagination.
