Soda Blonde

When a band reinvents itself, it is often a leap into the unknown. However, the Irish band Soda Blonde have mastered this step with flying colors. The four musicians from Dublin, Faye O'Rourke (vocals), Adam O'Regan (guitar), Dylan Lynch (drums) and Donagh SeaverO'Leary (bass), came together in 2019 to start a new chapter after the end of their indie band Little Green Cars. Their self-produced alt-pop sound, infused with introspective lyrics and aesthetically impressive visual concepts, has since wowed not only the Irish music scene but also international critics.
Soda Blonde first attracted attention with their debut album "Small Talk" in 2021. But it was their second album "Dream Big", released in 2023, that finally earned them the status of one of Ireland's most exciting contemporary bands. "Dream Big" was nominated for Album of the Year at the prestigious Choice Music Prize Awards, and the song "Bad Machine" was nominated for Song of the Year. The Irish Independent placed the record at the top of the list of "Best Irish Albums of 2023" and praised the band for their courage to push musical boundaries. "I think our attitude in the making of this album was that maybe we didn't think about what it was going to achieve or be," reflects singer O'Rourke on the making of "Dream Big". This unbiased approach seems to be the key to Soda Blonde's unique combination of emotional depth and ambitious soundscape. For fans, Soda Blonde remains a band that celebrates the raw and honest - be it through their introspective lyrics, their finely tuned sound or the intensity of their performances.
Those who experience this band live will witness not only their skill, but also their unmistakable charm - a blend of honesty, musical precision and pure passion.
