Mrnorth (Pronounced Mr. North) is an alternative rock band from Dublin, Ireland now working under the American label Rock Ridge Music. Its members include Colin Smith on Vocals/guitar, his cousins Emmett O'Malley and Oisin O'Malley on guitars/vocals and bass/keyboards, respectively, and drummer/percussionist Adrian Mordaunt.

History

The foursome (consisting of two brothers, a cousin and a next door neighbor) began playing together in their teens. After gaining attention in their home town of Dublin, Ireland, the boys went to Vicenza, Italy. The band became local favorites and toured all of Italy for the next two years off of a trip which was merely supposed to last for several months.

After catching the eye of an American manager they moved their operation to New York, USA, and landed a record deal with Uninhibited Records which resulted in their 2004 debut album, Lifesize(produced by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads).

Their next release, the five song EP Sleeping Dogs, came under the label Rock Ridge Music and was distributed digitally in late 2006. Their latest album, Fear & Desire was released on March 6, 2007. The album featured the Greenwich Village Orchestra on the tracks: "Overture", "Love Is...", "Overture Reprise", "For The Moment", and "Rope".

The band also held a release concert for the Fear and Desire album at Florence Gould Hall in New York City. The concert featured the Greenwich Village Orchestra playing songs that were featured on the album and also a very special rendition of MRNORTH's song "Let Me In". Mr North have just released the name of their upcoming album entitled "Everything ". This highly awaited album has captured the imagination of Mr North's ever growing fanbase both in the U.S. and back home in Ireland. The band will perform their new Album " Everything " at the Florence Gould Hall on Sept 16th 2011, with the support of an orchestra and choir.
