Sean Griffin Interview 2026

After nearly 30 years fronting a band, Sean Griffin finally went solo and discovered complete creative freedom, with 50 songs pouring out and no intention of slowing down. Griffin revealed that People Are Mad became a deeply personal, genre-blending debut built around live performances in the studio, embracing everything from heartfelt ballads to quirky sci-fi storytelling without worrying whether the songs fit the expectations of The Ruffians. Driven by an unpredictable songwriting process that can begin with a passing conversation, a melody in the car or a single phrase, he's already planning what comes next while insisting every song deserves its moment, even if it doesn't make the first cut. Between constant touring, marathon road trips across the US, ambitions to return to the UK and Ireland, and a renewed passion for performing on his own terms, Griffin is proving that stepping away from a band after decades can sometimes be the start of the most exciting chapter of all.
