The Coronas NEW SINGLE Grace, Don't Wait! Out on Fri 22nd of FEB!!!Fresh from the success of their hit single “San Diego Song†which has spent a staggering 16 weeks in the Irish top 40, the Coronas are back with their new single “Grace, Don’t Wait!†which is taken from their stunning debut album “Heroes and Ghostsâ€. A recent string of gigs in the Village, two sold out shows in The Button Factory, and appearances on the Late Late Show, The Podge and Rodge Show, and Other Voices saw this indie four-piece take the Irish music scene by storm in 2007, culminating in their nomination for a Meteor Award.
With influences including Radiohead and the Beatles, their album “Heroes or Ghosts†has enjoyed rave reviews and has been lodged in the Irish charts since its release in October. Described by HotPress as “walking a soulful line between Jeff Buckley and the Libertinesâ€, the Coronas have most definitely arrived and it seems that if “Grace, Don’t Wait!†is any indication of what’s to come then it is inevitable that they are set for even greater things in 2008.
