A. Smyth has been producing and releasing music for over 10 years, most notably with his last band Vann Music.
The pressures that surrounded these experiences of success and the impact this had on his career inspired him to write ‘Into The Darkness’ – “sacrificing the past and present in order to carve out some future hope.”
The track will be released on January 12th and is from his forthcoming debut album.
Friends of those affected in Berkeley’s tragedy last month have got together and put on a fundraiser for students who have been left with life-changing injuries after the accident.

Jape The Fontaines Dublin Gospel Choir Jessica Smith Heroes in Hiding Knights of Leon I’m Your Vinyl Kurtis Wade Vann Music Neon Atlas Shane Gillen (magician/illusionist) Mongoose DJ Deece

With a new EP on the May on March 7th called Running, ‘Boy’, a new track from that release finds the band find a new pace in their music that is slower, more anthemic and definitely the kind of song that could perk up the ears of Kodaline fans along with the cooler kids.
The EP was produced by Stephen Hague who indeed worked on a lot of ’80s records like Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, new Order and Pet Shop Boys.
