Speaking about their new song, they say, "Bone to Break has quickly become a new favourite among us as a band and with fans at our shows. It’s a real earworm that gets stuck in your head for days on end and we’re quite proud of how infectious it can be."
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
Paddy: We all met when we were at college in BIMM Dublin. Some of us used to be in a comedy metal band together. I’m much more influenced by bands like Bloodhound Gang and Limp Bizkit than I’d like to admit. I try not to feel guilty about my guilty pleasures.
How would you describe your music?
Cian: Modern rock yearning to be in the 90s/early 2000s. Mixed with really catchy pop hooks.

What was the first record you ever bought?
Cian: I bought a burned copy of a Black Eyed Peas album in Guyana.
What’s your favourite song right now?
Paddy: I've been listening to a tonne of Sleep Token's latest album Take Me Back To Eden - so I'd have to say the title track from that.

If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
