For over ten years now, the Dublin quartet — vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox, and drummer Adam Faulkner — have been redefining what you could loosely call “rock music” in the 21st century, influencing a wide swath of similarly forward-thinking guitar acts along the way.

He explains, “\u003cem\u003eOn this track I try to analyse my mental quirks by exploring my comfort distractions. Reverting to childhood nostalgia – as an escape. The memories seeping into my day-to-day adult life. Representing personal mental health behaviours via outdated pop culture such as the anxious tension set by Davina McCall’s silence when announcing a Big Brother eviction, or the fight or flight that Harold Lloyd surely experienced when holding on to a clock for dear life, and all for our entertainment. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI mention Power Rangers at the end of this.
