a lazarus soul has been performing since 2001, with its current lineup consisting of Brian Brannigan, Anton Hegarty, Julie Bienvenu and Joe Chester. After a period of separation, the band reconvened in 2024 to release the album ‘No Flowers Grow in Cement Gardens.’ The music of a lazarus soul combines elements of alternative rock, post-punk, Irish folk, electronic pop, and indie rock. The band’s lyrics address themes of working-class life, Dublin’s urban landscape, and socio-political issues in Ireland, with Brannigan previously saying its lyrics document aspects of Irish life.
