Castlecomer

Sydney, Australia’s Castlecomer made the move to The Music City in 2018 as they prepare to release their self-titled debut album due on October 5^th.  Recorded primarily in Sydney with producers Adrian Breakspear (Gang Of Youths) and Jean-Paul Fung (Jet, Silverchair) and mixed by Joe LaPorta (The Weeknd, The Killers, Foo Fighters),  Castlecomer is equal parts rock and roll abandon and meticulous pop craftsmanship.  Lead single “All Of The Noise” shimmers as it barrels forward, mixing thoughtful beauty with raw power.

Much like the band’s music, their name possesses deep personal meaning while still retaining an air of evocative mystery, hinting at places they’ve never been but still somehow course through their veins. Australia’s still in their blood, but after signing with Concord, the five-piece band took a leap of faith in early 2018 and moved to Nashville.

Castlecomer is made up of Bede (vocals), Tommy (guitar), Neely (keys), Joe (bass) and Patch (drums). After forming, they performed hundreds of shows and festival dates Down Under, building up a devoted fan-base and honing their set into a concentrated blast of pure energy and ecstasy. By the time they got to SXSW in 2017, Castlecomer was ready to take America by storm, and over the course of eight shows in three days, they laid the groundwork that landed them management, a booking agent, a publishing deal, and a record contract.

“We didn’t know anybody in the industry,” says Bede, “but we felt confident that if we had the opportunity to get onstage in front of a lot of people, that would be enough. We’re like the poster boys for what you can achieve at South By Southwest.”

Castlecomer head into August  in the middle of a 25-show U.S. headline tour and will continue to tour extensively this fall in support of the record.
