About Me


Eklectic are a young 5 piece rock band from Dublin Ireland, this bands influences and individual styles combined to make a refreshingly original and organic sound.. no matter how heavy the songs may be, there is always an emphasis on melody,and fantastic songwriting..
ROSE DOWLING , LEADS FROM THE FRONT IN THIS EXCITINGLY PROGRESSIVE YOUNG BAND.HER MELODIC VOCALS MARRY UP WITH THE POWERFUL RIFFS, DRIVING BASS, AND SOLID BEATS IN THE CLASSIC ROCK YET MODERN INFLUENCED MUSIC.ROSES ABILITY TO FIND THE SWEETEST MELODIES IN OFTEN THE MOST UNUSUAL SONGS A GIFT THAT IS NO DOUBT, THE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS BAND......
EOIN IS THE CORNERSTONE ON WHICH EKLECTIC IS BUILT, A SELF TAUGHT MUSICIAN WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE OF HIS INSTRUMENT.A STYLE WHICH IS UNCONVENTIONAL, COMPLEX, MELODIC, AND REMINISCENT OF A YOUNG DAVID GILMOUR WITH THE COMPLEXITY OF JOE SATRIANI, HIS RAPPORT WITH GARETH WAS INSTANT AND THESE TWO ARE HAVE FORMED AN INCREDIBLE UNDERSTANDING FOR EACH OTHERS PLAYING AND COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER TREMENDOUSLY................................................ ...................................
MARK "SNAKE" O'NEILL,HOLDING IT ALL DOWN BOTH ONSTAGE AND OFF!! IT IS SNAKES DRIVE, PASSION,MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING..THAT MOST FANS WILL KNOW INSTANTLY FROM MEETING HIM..WITH A DRIVING RHYTHMIC BASS SOUND, WEARING HIS INFLUENCES OF STEVE HARRIS, JASON NEWSTED AND JOHN MYUNG FIRMLY ON HIS SLEEVE,HIS STAGE PRESENCE HAS TO BE SEEN LIVE TO BE BELIEVED.. THIS YOUNG MAN IS STRAIGHT EDGE AND HARDCORE..............
GARETH, ANOTHER SELF TAUGHT MUSICIAN WHOSE MUSICAL ABITILY ALMOST SEEMS ENDLESS, WITH A GUITAR PLAYING STYLE ALL OF HIS OWN, SINCE JOINING EKLECTIC HAS HELPED THE BAND DEVELOP A SOUND THAT IS BOTH ORIGINAL YET FAMILIAR.. GARETHS ENDLESS PURSUIT TO WRITE THE PERFRECT SONG.FITS IN WELL WITH HIS PHILOSOPHY OF "DARE TO FAIL" GARETHS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A CROSS BETWEEN ZAKK WYLDE AND KIRK HAMMETT, A VERY FITTING DESCRIPTION INDEED......................
SEAN "DICKIE" HANLON, THIS YOUNG DRUMMER HAS FORMED A SOLID AND UNIQUE RHYTHM SECTION WITH SNAKE, SEANS OBVIOUS ABILTY AND SOLID AND UNUSUAL PLAYING IS ALWAYS APPARENT.. TAKING HIS INFLUENCES FROM ROY MAYORGA, JOEY JORDISON,AND CHRIS ADLER, SEAN HAS FUSED HIS METAL TASTES TO CREATE HIS SOUND...
