Hailing from Dublin, Don’t Tell Mum are a four-piece Indie/Pop/Rock band comprising of lead singer John McCabe, guitarist Jake McGuinness, bassist Jordan McGovern and drummer Johnny Roberts.

Formed in early 2020 prior to Covid-19, John and Jake initially met online and rehearsed as much as they could before Jordan and Johnny both joined in the summer of 2020. Whilst heavy restrictions regularly stunted the creative process, they rehearsed when permitted, as well as sending each other arrangements online.

Whilst their sound takes influence from the likes of Catfish & The Bottlemen, Arctic Monkeys and Kodaline, their own style is already beginning to take shape with driving rhythm and hook-filled melodies.

Having released their debut single ‘Simple Things’ at the beginning of April, Don’t Tell Mum followed this up with their first gig filmed at Camelot Studios. This was a six song set that consisted of material curated over the last 12 months since the band formed. It amassed a whopping 15’000 views in just under 2 weeks, and counting.
