Ham Sandwich (stylized as HamsandwicH) are an Irish indie rock band from Kells, County Meath.

[1] To date, the band have released four studio albums: Carry the Meek (2008), White Fox (2010), Stories from the Surface (2015) and Magnify (2022).

"[6] The band spent the next year writing and rehearsing songs, with Moore as their primary songwriter,[8] before giving their first live performance in their home town of Kells.

[5] The decision to release their first single independently, rather than seek a major record label deal, came from a desire to work and develop at their own pace, as well as to retain control over their own music.

[2] Later that year, the band began work on their first album, Carry the Meek, having enlisted Irish musician Karl Odlum as producer.

[14] The band released three more singles from the album 2008, "Keepsake", "Never Talk" and "Broken Glass",[15] and embarked on tours of Ireland and the UK, including spots at Glastonbury and Electric Picnic.

[21] Despite the personal turmoil, the band re-entered the studio to start work on their second album afresh, with Karl Odlum returning as producer as well as filling in on bass guitar duties for the departed Moore.

[24] The band continued to tour, with David McEnroe filling in on bass,[25] and released the next single from the album, "OH-OH", on 18 October 2010.

[28][29] The band's next single, "Models", was released on 15 June 2011 and was later used extensively in the Discover Ireland TV and radio campaign in support of The Gathering initiative in 2013.

[35] Other notable performances included playing at the President of Ireland's Garden Party at Áras an Uachtaráin and supporting Bon Jovi at Slane Castle, both in June 2013.

[36][37] Having toured extensively in support of White Fox, Ham Sandwich began recording their third album at Westland Row Studios in 2014, with Karl Odlum once again producing.

[40] Following support gigs over the summer for Arcade Fire and Mumford and Sons,[41] the band released the second single, "Apollo" on 31 October 2014 as a free download on their website.
