Foggy Notions presents the return of Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band to Dublin heading the Grand Social in Dublin in addition to their special guest slot with Kurt Vile & Violators at Vicar Street on September 14th. 

In 2025, the band released their second studio album, “New Threats from the Soul”, which Pitchfork included in its ‘Best New Albums’ section, praising Ryan as “an essential new voice in American indie rock.” Go give this already-classic Americana record a listen! 

New Threats from the Soul is a masterclass in reducing the sublime to the prosaic, immensity to infinitesimally, and vice versa (the trick can only work both ways). Everything in our universe is essentially flotsam or jetsam, rubbish heaps of fragments and shards. We, especially, are jerry-rigs of bubblegum and driftwood, inconsistencies and incoherencies, dead dreams and necrophagous hopes. The record functions in parallel with Kafka’s winking dictum that there is an infinite amount of hope in the universe, just not for us. New Threats suggests that maybe, just maybe, something like redemption is possible, but only once we’re entirely emptied out and hawked in toto down at Walden Pawn.
