About Me

The Overkills are an up and coming four-piece band hailing from the Northside of Dublin. The band consists of lead singer Ciaran Malone, his brother Niall Malone on guitar, Paul Daly on bass and Damien Creighton on drums and percussion. The band formed in the summer of 2004 and have been arousing much interest within Dublin music circles in recent months. The band sound draws influences from a wide variety of sources with comparisons made with the early emotive energy of u2 to the unadulterated rock sound of Led Zeppelin. To date the band have received substantial airplay on many of Dublin's pirate stations and have amassed a substantial following both locally and further afield. Since forming the band have played numerous gigs in Dublin's main music venues as well as some critically acclaimed performances in their hometown of Blanchardstown. The bands raw energy is clearly apparent from their incendiary live show and their sound lends itself well to the festival arena. The Overkills have recently recorded their debut album Stop & Stare at Sonic Eye Studio and a spate of summer performances are set to coincide with its launch in mid summer.Woman
