Soundproof

Artist Information

Biography

Longlisted to play Glastonbury this year, Soundproof are a 4 piece rock band hailing from the North of Dublin. Set up in 2006 by 3 brothers, Ste, Chris and Neilo. Bassist Rosie later filled in and the band was formed.

Since setting up the band have rocked venues such as Whelans, The Village, The Button Factory, The Academy, Eamon Doran’s and The Sugar Club. The band have also performed on various radio stations and jammed alongside some of best emerging talent on the Irish music scene.

In Autumn 2009 they went on to record their debut EP titled ‘Shoot Me’ at Pulse Studios. The EP launch saw a crowd of over 250 people at The Village Venue. With a fast growing fan base "The Proof" began to make their move on the Irish music scene.

In May 2010 Soundproof released their debut single “Only By The Night” which was a huge success. It peaked to No.2 in the Download charts, No.44 in the Irish charts and helped Soundproof secure their names on the bill of No Place Like Dome Music Festival and LcFest. With positive reviews from the likes of Hotpress Magizine, In Dublin and Heineken Music, Soundproof have not failed to impress.

Continuing its success, "Only by the Night" was also picked up by a top Canadian TV Network as the theme tune for a new adventure series that aired on Discovery Channel in November 2010.

Their melodic rock music and supreme energy has grasped an expanding fan base and helped Soundproof get bigger and better. After playing alongside RoySeven, Bell X1 and The Villagers at Sea Sessions the lads are now back in the studio working on their 2nd single due for release later this Summer.

'Only By The Night' is seriously catchy stuff, helped in no small part by Neil O'Donoghue's fearless indie growl.

Reminiscent of The Bravery, Editors, and a hint of early Kings of Leon material - Soundproof have delivered a bundle of pop/rock brillance on their debut EP ‘Shoot Me’ which proves that there is still hope for unsigned acts to make their mark on the music industry.
