Cork indie rockers Skies Behind have released their new single, Ghost. We asked them the BIG questions . . .
Influenced by bands such as Loathe and NewDad, they have played sold out shows in their local venue An Spailpin Fanach and Whelan's of Dublin.
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
We all share a detached house (dubbed 'The Band Gaff'/Skies Behouse) in suburban Cork, at the end of a quiet cul de sac. Our shared vinyl collection has recently surpassed 100 records and will inevitably lead to complications in the divorce. The local Chinese will now deliver Richard's spice bag order within seven minutes.
