Joey Lynch is an 18-year-old mechanic from Cork, sharp-tongued and reckless on the surface but fiercely protective of his siblings underneath. Years of abuse, addiction, and carrying the weight of his broken family have left him scarred, volatile, and quick to fight, though his loyalty runs bone-deep. Smart as hell but self-destructive, he’s the kind of lad who’ll burn himself to the ground if it means keeping the people he loves warm.

He is the lead singer of catfish and the bottlemen. Van is quite a reserved, not very talkative individual off stage, but when he is on stage; it's a whole new story. He is still a laid back person though, likes beer and chilling, smoking cigarettes and occasionally pot. He uses vulgar language, but not every minute - just every so often. He is fully passionate in his music but still gets very nervous before going on stage.

Joey would describe himself as someone who’s been forced to grow up too fast. He’d say he’s tough, but not by choice—he’s had to be. He’d mention that he doesn’t trust easily, but he’s got his siblings’ backs no matter what. He’d probably throw in something about being a bit of a mess, but doing what he can to survive, even if it means hiding the parts of himself that could get hurt.
