The Coronas

‘We al know it’s here, we can read the signs, There’s nothin’ left to hear on our one track minds’…were the lyrics that rang out across the auditorium as Danny O’Reilly stood centre stage and sang the opening lines of Out of Our Control a cappella, before the rest of the band launched into the rest of the song, immediately creating a huge and exciting sound. They introduced themselves and Dave McPhillips on lead guitar shouted out to everyone in the crowd ‘join in with us everybody, we wanna hear you singing and see your hands in the air’, to which everyone responded with cheers and joined in with their music.

The Irish indie rock band have an incredible selection of tracks and albums under their belts, and they played an awesome set. They played through Closer to You in it’s entirety, before launching in to their older hits. They even played one song, I can’t remember it’s name now, that’s unreleased and is going to be on an upcoming album that they’re working on. It was awesome to hear something like that in a live setting, it was incredibly special, and completely unexpected.
