Florence Road – Rabbits Can Swim
Florence Road today release their new track, ‘Rabbits Can Swim’, taken from their upcoming EP Spring Forward, out 27th March.
The song arrives following the band’s show at The Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles, and ahead of The Last Dinner Party, where they’ll open on select North American dates. A tender ballad of longing, it showcases Florence Road’s talent for blending raw emotion with sweeping indie-pop melodies, jumpstarting what promises to be a landmark year following their standout accomplishments from last year.
2025 firmly established them as one of the most exciting new acts to watch. The Irish four-piece dropped their debut mixtape Fall Back to widespread acclaim, sold out their first UK and Ireland headline tour, and earned major accolades including a spot on the BBC Sound of 2026 list and Pandora’s Artist to Watch 2026. They also landed magazine covers for DIY’s Class of 2026 issue, Hot Press and DORK, delivered standout sets at SXSW London and The Great Escape, and supported Olivia Rodrigo, sombr, Wallows, Royel Otis, and Wolf Alice. With more music on the way this year, their momentum shows no sign of slowing.
Made up of childhood friends Lily Aron (Vocals), Emma Brandon (Guitar), Ailbhe Barry (Bass) and Hannah Kelly (Drums), Florence Road spent their teens perfecting their craft in Aron’s garden shed in Bray, Ireland, refining a sound that is as influenced by icons like The Cranberries as it is contemporary peers such as Wolf Alice and Phoebe Bridgers.
