Four-piece Wicklow indie rock band The Decades have released their new single, Overwhelming. We asked drummer David Mulvey the BIG questions . . .
The band also features Sean Fox on vocals, Rhys Doyle on lead guitar, and Myles Keogh on bass and the new single follows previous releases Electricity and Fool's Gold.
