The O.W Loves Ye Baby!
Ophelia’s Wrath set up in the summer of 2017 by brothers Conor and Declan Gallagher.
After trying out several different singers, guitarists and bass players, by the end of 2019, the final line up was settled.
All 5 members of the band were born and raised in North Dublin, Ireland. With punch and groove, the drums, bass and memorable guitar riffs and harmonies, along with Phil’s distinctive vocals, the audience will be on their feet, shaking their heads from start to finish with a set of original songs that will take you right back to the hard Rock era of the 60’s and 70’s.
Irish Rock D.J’s such as Tony Ainscough (Radio Nova) & Ian McWilliams (Rebel Radio) who have been supporting us, have also compared us to Judas Priest, Zeppelin and Lizzy but to name a few.
We are in favour of real musicians playing real instruments, A band that wants to play for real rockers all over the planet
IN ROCK WE TRUST
