Dublin-based band swords are set to play a headline performance in Whelan’s main venue on Friday July 5th, to launch their debut album “Lions & Gold”. It will be a significant step up for the band who have been working on the album for the past ten months.
Recording began last November in a cottage in remote Co Kilkenny with Karl Odlum on production duties, continuing with sessions in Dublin and most recently mastering in Abbey Road Studios.
The 11 track album has been pre empted by two single releases: “All The Boys” which became Phantom 105.2’s most played track and lifted the band into Dublin’s musical consciousness along with their Camden Crawl performance and an appearance on the TV show Other Voices. The second single, “Lions & Gold”, shows the bands depth & is a considered follow-up.
“Lions & Gold” the album will be available on iTunes, Google Play and Spotify from July 5th, and swords will have physical copies available for sale at the show in Whelan’s.
Check out swords’ latest video for “Lions & Gold”, with animation by David McSwiggan.
