Cork City’s Following The Signs are quickly making their mark with a sound that blends heavy riffs with real emotion. The five-piece metalcore band has been building momentum over the past few years, combining high energy with honest themes that listeners can connect with. Made up of members aged between their mid-20s and early 30s, the band brings both experience and hunger to everything they release and perform.
Their journey so far has been steady and focused. With two albums already under their belt, Far From Home and Conflictions, they’ve grown their audience while shaping a clear identity. Tracks like “Bury Me” helped push them further, gaining strong attention on streaming platforms and becoming a standout moment in their catalogue. Off the back of Conflictions, the band also took things to the next level by touring internationally, showing they can deliver just as much intensity live as they do in the studio.
Now, Following The Signs is entering a new chapter with their latest EP Evolve. The project leans into themes of resilience, self-growth, and pushing through difficult moments, giving it a strong sense of purpose from start to finish. It feels like a natural progression for the band, both musically and lyrically, while still holding onto the raw energy that defines their sound.
At the centre of it all is the title track “Evolve.” Built from a simple guitar idea that grew into something much bigger, the song captures everything the band stands for right now. It’s emotional but still hits hard, balancing grit with a sense of pride and determination. The message is clear and easy to connect with. Keep going, back yourself, and come out stronger no matter what you’re facing.
With Evolve, Following The Signs are not just releasing new music, they’re showing real growth. Their mix of heavy sound and relatable themes continues to set them apart, and this latest release proves they are only getting started.
