Cronin kick off 2023 with new music

Having just returned from the Eurosonic festival in Groningen, Cronin have kick off 2023 with the release of new single 'When Everybody's Gone To Bed'.

“We’re channelling The Kinks, Elvis Costello and 60’s garage vibes. We wanted to write a song Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf could sing," frontman Johnny Cronin explains.

“We had a mad night a few years back in the 8mm bar in Berlin and met a fellow that was a cross between Brian Ferry and Bella Lugosi. He said his name was Sebastian Melmoth, which I knew was a pseudonym that Oscar Wilde took in his later years,” he adds.

With both an EP and album planned for later this year, and festival dates soon to be announced, it is a flying start for the Mullingar Longford outfit.

The recording is a first for Cronin with the mix being in mono, aiming for the 'old school' mixes from back in the early 60’s.

It features good friend and collaborator Ger Eaton on Vox Continental Organ with recording duties by Mick Cronin and Karl Odlum (The Frames, Glen Hansard) at Transmission Rooms, Drumlish.
