No looking back for Skyfever!
With stadium rock setting the tone for 2018, no strangers to hearing their music filling 80,000-seater stadiums are Skyfever, who return with their new EP, 'Rear View Mirror', kicking off with the raucous lead single, 'Signs'.
Last year saw the Irish rockers break through in a big way, with their music being selected for play by George Sephton at Anfield and by the Carolina Panthers to fill the 75,000 seater Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Legendary rocker Alice Cooper is a fan, and last year he endorsed the band by not only playing their track, 'The Returning', to listeners of his worldwide-syndicated radio show, Nights with Alice Cooper, but also by personally sharing their track on social media and praising their talent. Radio stations across the USA have recognised Skyfever and they have been played on stations from Philadelphia (WCLH) to Chicago (WZRD) to Nashville, Tennessee (Under the Gun Radio).
The UK have got behind Skyfever too, with Jim Gellatly (Amazing Radio) playing their music and the renowned Fred Perry Subculture website name-checking them alongside Otherkin, Heathers and Squarehead as ‘Top 20 Irish Bands to Watch’. Along with the media in Ireland, stating that they are one to watch for 2018, they have regularly appeared on JOE.ie as their song of the day and on RTE 2FM.
Off the back of a successful gig in Dublin’s Button Factory, the band’s Navan native guitarist Brian Clarke said: "All I’ve ever wanted to do with my life is to play guitar and be in a band. I’m very proud of this EP and I’m very proud of this band. Being in Skyfever feels like home to me. I’m excited about the release of the EP and can’t wait until it’s out there for people to listen to. There’s a lot more to come!"
Rear View Mirror is gaining five star reviews in music publications and is now available on iTunes and Spotify.
