Off The Record: Limerick band to release new single with a ‘sexy groove’

LIMERICK band, Left on Read, are about to release a new single which aims to “be a bit of a parody”.

Formed in early 2020, the quartet demo-ed their first tracks during the pandemic. Made up of two brothers, drummer Adam and guitarist Jack Reeves, bass player James Doherty, as well as singer and multi-instrumentalist Steven Tynan, they quickly got noticed.

And by 2021, they were on the radar of Creative Ireland and Limerick City and County Council, who awarded them with a ‘Made in Limerick’ recording grant.

Their sound could be described as a collaboration of a Cradle of Filth, Enya, and Craig David.

Titled ‘Most of All’, their new song promises ‘something you’ll never get enough off’ and will be released on April 28.

Speaking of the song, Steven commented: “There’s something statutory considering the lyrics. We were kind of listening to it thinking that’s kind of got a sexy groove to it, I can definitely see my hips moving to that kind of rhythm.”

Not your conventional love song, ‘Most of All’ aims to “be a bit of a parody.”

“I think ultimately the song is a bit of a parody, and at the same time I guess it's a bit of a tragic parody. It’s definitely something that I'm sure everyone has experienced in the past, particularly if they've gone through the college lifestyle of being in pubs and nightclubs and whatever else.”

According to him, Irish people are storytellers. With their new song, they tell the tale of boy meets girl, then doesn’t hear from her until they bump into each other on a night out - you could say he was left on read.

On April 28, the band will also release a video clip showcasing an “ambitious idea” – one that features a mermaid.

“The filmmaker kind of pitched this idea to us and straight away we thought the mermaid matched, it matched the idea, and it sounded pretty cool,” said Steve.

“I'm actually really excited to see it now because it was completely over the top, a bit crazy, and we didn't think we could get it done. But when we were out there filming on the day, just seeing how everything was going, it was like, wow this feels like it's so much better than it is,” he added.
