The Fugues are an indie-rock band based in Belfast. Influenced by the indie and pop-rock music of the 90s and 2000s, their colourful tones and vibrant melodies create a pacey, bright sound. First meeting in Belfast in 2014, founding members Kevin Doherty and Kaelan Power began going to parties to play music together. They began collaborating on songwriting projects, forming a band with current bassist Peter Murphy to experiment with their differing styles of writing. After a couple of years of writing in genres ranging from punk to folk, they found their home in the indie scene.
