Dublin’s Really Good Time share first music of 2026 with single and music video “Bob Dylan was on Pawn Stars in 2010”

Today, sharing their first music of 2026, Dublin trio Really Good Time return with their new single and music video for “Bob Dylan Was On Pawn Stars in 2010”.

Following a breakout 2025 that saw the band cement their reputation as one of Ireland’s most vital live exports, with appearances at SXSW, The Great Escape and Other Voices, and sharing stages with the likes of Franz Ferdinand and The Murder Capital, the trio enter the new year sharpened, louder and fully locked in.

“Bob Dylan Was On Pawn Stars in 2010” is their most unguarded and absurdist release yet, a spiralling, hook-laden eruption that turns a fleeting pop culture discovery into a meditation on ego, nostalgia and the humiliations of growing up online. It captures the band’s now notorious live intensity, sweat-soaked and cathartic, teetering between sincerity and self-immolation, while pushing their songwriting into even more unhinged territory.

Speaking on the single, frontman Wastefellow said:

“The seed for Bob Dylan Was on Pawn Stars in 2010 was planted on a bus home, after seeing “A Complete Unknown” at the beginning of last year. While draining the internet for pointless information about and around the film, I discovered Bob Dylan had appeared on Pawn Stars in 2010. I found this shocking, like an affront to a truth that, while difficult to pin down, I had up until this point felt that I understood about the world. For a moment I was fifteen years old and Bob Dylan was supposed to be mine, and I was never going to live in that world again.”

“It may surprise some, given my lyrics, my generally poor table manners, the name of my band etc. but I am in fact not fifteen, and it is, in fact, ridiculous to see all of the world’s ills contained within one droplet of reality television from 2010 (when I was 15). Yet ridiculous as it was, in that moment I really felt it. So naturally we had to write a song about it, to try and lay that feeling out and own all its teenage hysteria.”

“Ultimately, its a very serious, stupid, earnest song about getting out of your own head and letting the world around you in. Most of the lyrics were written as myself and Jacque were trying to run up a hill in Cork, and I hope the spirit of finally getting up over that last rise can be heard in the track.”

“The release is accompanied by a video directed by Sophie O’Donovan, leaning fully into the band’s fascination with spectacle, self-sabotage and masculine absurdity. Drawing visual parallels between ritual humiliation and catharsis, the clip reframes existential dread as something to be hurled down a hill at full speed.”

Speaking on the video, Sophie O’Donovan said:

“To me, a lot of the music of Really Good Time is about modern masculinity and making fun of yourself to get through the existential dread. This led me to influences like Jackass, the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling Race and general stupid boy activities.”

“When faced with the question of “what should men do with themselves now?”, this masochism feels like a logical and cathartic answer somehow. Through clowning camaraderie, these men get to experience a primal escapism.”

“Although Jackass is not without its issues (just like men), there’s an inherent wholesomeness to it. It’s filled with joyous resilience. The body is fragile but it should be disrupted. I wanted to capture that energy in this music video.”

As they step into 2026, Really Good Time continue to build momentum off the back of a relentless touring schedule and growing critical support across the UK and Ireland. With further live dates to be announced, and confirmed appearances around The Great Escape, a Mother Artists showcase and recently been announced to be opening for Super Furry Animals alongside Baxter Dury, Really Good Time remain one of the most unpredictable and combustible acts on either side of the Irish Sea.
