The Coronas are an Irish rock and indie band. They have released three studio albums, Heroes or Ghosts (2007), Tony Was an Ex-Con (2009) and Closer to You (2011). The first album brought them widespread popular acclaim with songs such as, "Heroes or Ghosts" and "San Diego Song". Tony Was an Ex-Con received Best Irish Album at the 2010 Meteor Awards, beating Snow Patrol's Up To Now and U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb among others.

The band formed when the members were just 15. The band was initially known as "kiros" according to the band's official biography on its website, but changed its name three years later to "Corona" (named after a typewriter brand), but when the Italian dance act Corona re-emerged, the band changed their name again to "The Coronas".
