We Town Criers are a visceral quartet hell bent on bucking the Irish rock trend! Intense live shows, contagious vocal melodies and guitars played the way they should be, honest and loud. We Town Criers believe in sounding big! Writing and recording since 2006, We Town Criers’ members are Dermot Kelly (vocals and guitar), Micheál Sheil (lead guitar), Pat Nolan (bass) and Ronan Connaughton (drums) all hailing from Ballinlough, in Co. Roscommon.We Town Criers released their debut EP, Wake Up, with involvement from Dave Hingerty (The Frames) and Ken Mc Hugh (Autamata), in 2011 to critical acclaim."...it was such an infectious song, that it hooked all that heard it. Listening to it again today, just reminded me of how strong the melodies and hooks are. And a song as good as that, brings expectations for what We Town Cries would produce next..." - Chew Your Own Fat.In the twilight of 2012 We Town Criers returned to their studio in Roscommon to record their highly anticipated debut album, Swing Beast, which is set for release in September 2013."Roscommon’s We Town Criers delivered one of the most thrilling performances of the day. Each of the songs was played in blitzkrieg fashion and they powered through their set without missing a beat. This is one band to really keep an eye on for in 2013." - Vantastival 2013 Review, Ros Madigan, Goldenplec."It’s the middle of the summer; things could hardly get any better, could they? Weeks of sunshine, beer and barbeques. Then, the new We Town Criers single arrives in the Inbox. That called for a pool party!- Frank Hughes, Chew Your Own Fat."We Town Criers manage to achieve something that is rare. The sound here is achingly catchy, radio friendly and yet not even slightly like something that’s been commercially affected or in any way geared toward the market. It’s good, clean, REAL music that could so easily appeal to the masses" - Amanda Burns,Music Review Unsigned.
