From Drop Box

In a world dominated by cheap clones, SUDDYN are fighting for the rights of individualism by boldly going where great bands have gone before and defiantly orchestrating their own sound. They are the antithesis of every minimalist lo-fi indie top shop slop rock band clogging the airwaves today.

So what happens when 2 Montauk brothers and 2 Irish childhood friends join forces? Drawing on inspiration, experiences and tales from both sides of the pond, SUDDYN was borne and so was a sound that uniquely fuses together the emotional intensity and style of Radiohead, the atmospheric rock of U2, and the baroque drama of Queen.

SUDDYN have spent the last 2 years touring and releasing their music in Europe, grateful for every achievement and using each to build up to the next. SUDDYN are one of Ireland’s best selling unsigned acts with 3 Top 30 hit singles under their belt!
SUDDYN’s recent releases “Gravity” & “Letting Go” have received over 500 plays on Irish radio including a host of commercial regional playlist adds.

With SUDDYN the real magic is performing live on stage and for them it’s that one place that 4 guys from opposite sides of the Atlantic can truly call their universal home! This love of the stage has lead them to play over 150 shows and they’ve been lucky enough to be in the company of great bands such as Shiny Toy Guns, The Films, Boy Kill Boy and Larrikin Love to name just a few. SUDDYN’s anthemic rock sound built its own reputation of a “must see act” on the live circuit.

As interest in the US started to take on its own life, SUDDYN recently returned to the Montauk camp and the whirlwind momentum is showing no sign of letting up! Early US support came in from stations like WFNX Boston, Q101.1 Chicago, KWSS Phoenix, KUPD (Phoenix) WQXA/Harrisburg PA, KACV/Amarillo TX, KFMG/Des Moines, and RIFF2/Detroit. In fact “Gravity” recently charted at #16 on the FMQB Chart!

SUDDYN’s hard work and talent has not gone unnoticed by the industry and they have already racked up quite a few impressive accolades -

• Record of the Day
• NME’s Top 20 Breaking Band
• Hit Quarters Artist of the Week
• Finalists in the prestigious AAA category at this year’s International Songwriting Competition!

The band have spent the last few months working on their new EP "Dark Lights" which is due for release this April! "Dark Lights" was recorded in Grouse Lodge (an exceptional residential studio which has been home to some amazing artists like Snow Patrol, Muse, REM and Michael Jackson to name a few!). “Dark Lights’ was mastered by John Davis whose clients include Snow Patrol, Artic Monkeys, REM and Led Zeppelin. Its early days in the campaign but “Dark Lights” has already been added to over 90 radio stations across the country!
