Burglar is an alternative rock duo based in Dublin, Ireland. Willow and Eduardo formed Burglar after meeting in college in 2021 and bonding over their love of alternative acts such as PJ Harvey and King Krule. Their backgrounds couldn’t be more different; Eduardo grew up around the punk rock scene in his hometown of Goiânia, Brazil, while Willow comes from the indie-pop scene in Dublin, with previous project Opal Lights bringing her to festivals such as Electric Picnic and Sea Sessions. However, their blend of inspirations has given Burglar a unique and addictive sound. Willow’s dissociative lyricism and Eduardo’s confessional style result in energetic and catchy songs with interchangeable vocal leads and omnipresent harmonic work, alongside distorted guitars and buzzing synths.

The band has spent 2023 and 2024 playing as many gigs on the Dublin circuit as possible and have gained a following within the scene. They have been applauded for their exciting live energy, with onlookers comparing them to influences anywhere from Fugazi, to Slint, to Bloc Party. This garnered them a showcase spot at Ireland Music Week in Crowbar Terrace, which they packed out. They released their new single ‘No Easy Way Out’ on the 27th of September.
