Listen to the Orange Sound Studio 8 Session

By 2FM Moderator on January 23, 2012 7:04 PM

Recorded: 28 November, 2011

2fm Studio8 Session


The Orange Sound is:

Steven Rice - Vocals and Guitar
Niomi O'Rourke - Piano and backing vocals
Sean O'Donnell - Drums
Karl Bennett - Guitar
Graham McCartin - Bass
 
The Orange Sound is from Dublin and is the project of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Steven Rice, who has performed as both a band member and solo artist extensively in Ireland and the UK, receiving radio airplay in both countries along the way.

The Orange Sound's music ranges from the crunch of Queens of the Stone Age and Foo Fighters, the stark indie of The Cure, and the harmony and melody of Crosby, Stills and Nash - and it works. For the session, he brought in a full band to get that live studio vibe.
 
The Orange Sound is currently gigging and recording in Ireland, with plans to make it's debut release in early 2012.

Listen to After the Explosions Studio 8 Session

By 2FM Moderator on January 23, 2012 6:57 PM

Recorded:15 November 2011

2fm Studio8 Session

After The Explosions are:

David O'Brien (vox/guitar/synth),
Dave Hanratty (drums),
Noel Traynor (guitar/textures)
Garry Toner (synth/piano/backing vox).
 
The Dublin band formed in 2008 and it quickly became apparent that the music they created combined heavy and melodic vocals, textured guitars, dark synths, piano and tribal drums, creating a powerful and complex sound different to what most "Dublin" bands are doing.

The band released their second EP, "The Great Collapse" in the summer of 2011. The EP was recorded @ La Li Lu Le Lo Studios.  Production has begun on their debut album, tentatively scheduled for release in summer 2012.

CARRIED BY WAVES are the solo project of one Cork musician, who remains anonymous except to his mother  A debut audio/visual show last January was closely followed by a headline slot at Cork's Oiche Bealtaine festival.

In June they were selected by FIRST MUSIC CONTACT for the 2011 FMC Tour and by August they were chosen as one of the 100 acts to perform at HARD WORKING CLASS HEROES 2011. This was closely followed by a performance at THE ELECTRIC PICNIC.

Most recently CARRIED BY WAVES featured on 2fm as part of Dan Hegarty's show, and performed with "Vision - VJ Collective" as part of the CORK FILM FESTIVAL at the beautiful "Triskel Christ Church" venue.

In addition they performed with R.S.A.G. in Galway's Roisin Dubh as part of the TULCA visual arts festival. 2012 will see the release of a debut album.
