Boy M5 are a four-piece indie rock band from Derry and Donegal, making anthemic, melody-driven songs full of lift, tension and emotional punch. Led by Kyle O’Neill on vocals and guitar, alongside Nigel Hegarty on drums, Caoimhe Bell on keys and synths, and Nyree Porter on bass, the band combine sharp songwriting with a powerful, full-bodied sound that hits hard both live and on record.

With soaring harmony driven choruses, dynamic textures and a growing reputation for high-energy performances, Boy M5 are building toward their debut album with real momentum. Their recent work, mastered at Abbey Road, marks another step forward for a band steadily carving out their own lane.

The bands latest single, ‘You Are The You’, being released in July 2026, while taking a broad influence from 80’s ballads, moves the band a further step forward into the realms of big harmonies, drum hooks, and a breakdown to leave a lasting impression on the listener.

The song has been described as a sincere love song about healing, vulnerability and finding that one person who makes life feel brighter, steadier, and worth holding onto.
