?Since 2010 the Irish Rockers 2minutes2midnight have
blended influences as diverse as Oasis, Kasabian, Megadeth,
The Beatles, Guns n’ Roses and Led Zeppelin amongst
others to their own mix of classic style but yet modern
sound. Since their formation the lads showed a swagger
and confidence in both the style and deliverance of
music on stage and recorded. Renowned for their home
brew of no-nonsense rock and roll and expert showmanship
which has earned them accolades, the lads continue
to mix the energetic guitar playing of axe man Trevor
Thompson with rock and right on the money sound of front
man Damien Mc Kenna’s voice.
Their recording debut saw the arrival of their award
winning EP “Ask Freud”. Described as having “elements
that will fill the void since the departure of Oasis”
and “Guitar solos from the hay day of classic rock”
(Hotpress), the EP was well received throughout the
country. From early on the band showed an unrivalled
stage presence and presented the songs to back this
up to the delight of audiences. Since the beginning
of 2011 the band has confirmed their arrival by performing
throughout the Irish music scene. Selling out The Spirit
Store and giving eye catching performances on main stage
Templehouse and Arthurs Day headline in the Mezz has
shown that the lads have what it takes to rise to the
pinnacle of their craft. Recently Mc Kenna and Thompson
began work on a new project. Their honest, hardworking
approach to music has been refreshing while also providing
the driving force behind the recording of the new album.
In their own words; “This is what it’s all about, this
is rock n’ roll in its purist form… Enjoy”.
In late 2011 the band teamed up with producer and engineer
Jason Varley to start work on their debuth album which
is well on the way to being completed.
