There was a palpable flurry of momentum surrounding the Dublinband’s second album, as their 2024 debut had established thequartet as an essential new name in contemporary rock - and they more than delivered on that heavy weight of expectation.
Now, they’ve turned their urgent and relentless energy into new material, releasing themselves from the shackles of insecurity, and confidently stepping into their best work yet. It’s loud, emotive, boisterous and a lot of fucking fun (as lead single, “Descartes”,clearly demonstrates)... but there are also atmospheric interludes, which provide respite and serve to amplify the intensity when the noise kicks back in (best exemplified instandout track, ‘To The Bone’). They’ve managed to transfer the confidence and passion that they exude onstage onto record, so now we have a fully formed behemoth of a band that look set to take on the world.
