AFTER THE EXPLOSIONS
DROGHEDA, COUNTY LOUTH
After the Explosions are: David O'Brien (vox/guitar/synth), Dave Hanratty (drums), Noel Traynor (guitar/textures) and Garry Toner (synth/piano/backing vox).
The band formed in 2008 and it quickly became apparent that the music they created together was something that none of them had expected. Combining more alternative elements that bring to mind such bands as Nine Inch Nails and This Will Destroy You, After the Explosions throw a little something extra of their own into the mix as they combine heavy and melodic vocals, textured guitars, dark synths, piano and tribal drums, creating a powerful and complex sound that stands defiantly apart.
In the time since forming the band have worked hard at harnessing their sound in the Irish live-circuit, playing venues all across the North East and Dublin and have enjoyed success in the international music
competition Emergenza and made their festival debut at Oxegen '10.
The band recently completed their debut EP: Hesitate/Execute, which was recorded in Tumbleweed Studios, engineered by Jason Varley, mixed and mastered by Natalie Culligan, David O'Brien and Garry Toner, with artwork designed by Jonathan McVeigh.
