Delorentos are a Dublin-based Irish alternative rock band, formed in 2005. They consist of Rónan Yourell (vocals, guitar, piano), Kieran McGuinness (vocals, guitar), Níal Conlan (bass, backing vocals) and Ross McCormick (drums, backing vocals). The band's debut album In Love with Detail was critically acclaimed in Ireland, being nominated for the Choice Music Prize and in the Best Irish Album category at the 2007 Meteor Awards, at which Delorentos were also nominated for Best New Irish Band. Two extended plays have also been released; their debut release, titled Leave It On, in October 2005, and the follow-up EP, titled Do You Realise, came out in November 2007. The Delorentos discography consists of a selection of singles which entered the Irish Singles Chart, such as "The Rules" in May 2006 and "Stop" in July 2007.

Aside from headline shows, Delorentos have opened a number of high profile shows throughout their career, including 2007 support slots for Sinéad O'Connor at Heineken Green Energy, the Dave Matthews Band at the Point Theatre and Arctic Monkeys, Supergrass and The Coral at Malahide Castle. The band have also played with the likes of Idlewild, Gang of Four, Bell X1 and The Futureheads in locations such as London, New York City, Chicago and Toronto. They have featured at numerous major festivals and tours including Electric Picnic, Oxegen and South by Southwest. Delorentos were invited to play a set at the 2006 edition of Other Voices: Songs From a Room and were also regular performers on The Cafe. They have built up a small fanbase in the neighbouring United Kingdom through appearances on television shows such as CD:UK. They have also had several songs feature on the PlayStation 3 karaoke video game, SingStar.

Delorentos spent much of 2008 working on their second album, playing few live shows. By early 2009, they were reported to be performing with Director as both bands showcased material from their second albums. However, on 17 February 2009, Delorentos announced on their MySpace and official website that Rónan Yourell had decided to leave the band. The entire band subsequently announced a split but rescinded this decision two months later. Their second album You Can Make Sound was released on 9 October 2009 and led to two more Meteor nominations for Delorentos in 2010.

Career

Formation

Each of the band members were in other bands prior to Delorentos, some of them alongside one another. Conlan and McCormick lived next door to on another, in what Conlan once described as "a weird web of bands through schools and colleges, until the four of us came together".[4] McGuinness started playing with McCormick around 1999, with Conlan joining the band they were playing with soon after that.[4] After this band failed, McCormick played with Yourell for a while, with McCormick and Conlan having played in a band together as well.[4] Yourell then worked in France for a time but later returned to Ireland.[4] Eventually the four grouped together to form Delorentos, whose name was taken from an older band in which a number of them featured. They were, by their own admission, "shite"[8] until they went to Chicago to play "a rake of gigs".[4] McCormick and Conlan were in college in the earlier days of the band's career.[4]

Early career

Their first release, the EP, Leave It On, was an entirely independent one and was launched in Whelan's in Dublin.[4] The band collectively provided an amount of cash to record it at the start of 2005.[4] McGuinness had a job so provided much of the money, with the rest of the band paying him back.[4] Leave It On was released on the band's Delo Records label, with Cottage Records distributing it.[4] Produced by Marc Carolan the four-track EP was released in Ireland in November 2005,[3] entering the Top 30 of the Irish Singles Chart.[9] The single, "Leave it On", went straight to number one in the Irish Singles Chart.[1] Delorentos followed this with a tour which included an appearance at the UK industry show In The City and they were invited to participate in the 2006 series of RTÉ's annual Other Voices music show.[1][3][9] This was followed in May 2006 by another single, "The Rules", which debuted in the Irish Singles Chart at number fourteen[9] and spent a total of three weeks in this chart.[10]

Just prior to this, Delorentos had come to wider attention when they represented Ireland at the National Student Music Awards (NSMA) in Dublin on 31 March 2005, where they were chosen as the Best Student Artist in the UK and Ireland.[4][11][12] As part of their prize, they received free recording time at the BBC's Maida Vale recording studios and were invited onto the UK television show CD:UK, on which they confirmed the UK release date of their debut EP Leave It On.[3][4] The band followed this with another Irish tour and appeared on The Cafe in 2006 and 2007.[1][3] They toured with other more established bands such as Idlewild, Bell X1,[13] Whitey, The Futureheads, Gang of Four and Tapes 'n Tapes in locations such as London, New York City, Chicago and Toronto.[3][9] Delorentos featured at both Oxegen and Electric Picnic in 2006,[9] becoming the first unsigned act to perform at both festivals.[14] In February 2007, they released the single, "Basis of Everything", to coincide with US dates in New York City and a series of performances at South by South West.[9]

In Love with Detail

Further success led to Delorentos supporting Arctic Monkeys at two shows in Malahide Castle, Dublin (above) in June 2007.

Delorentos recorded their debut album in Dublin's Sun and Apollo Studios with Gareth Mannix.[9] In Love with Detail was released on their own Cottage Records label on 20 April 2007.[15] The album entered the Irish Albums Chart at number seven, spending five weeks in that chart,[10] and later received a nomination for the Choice Music Prize.[4][9][15] The majority of the album was written over the previous year.[9] Later that year, Delorentos had festival slots at Oxegen, Electric Picnic and Cois Fharraige.[9] At that year's Heineken Green Energy, the band supported Sinéad O'Connor and Kíla,[16] they supported the Dave Matthews Band at the Point Theatre on 23 May 2007,[17] and went on to open for Arctic Monkeys at Malahide Castle on two separate dates in June 2007.[18][19][20] The single "Stop" was released in July. A second EP, Do You Realise, was released in November,[9] spending two weeks in the Irish Singles Chart and peaking at number thirty-four.[10]

Delorentos twice toured the United States, including several dates in March 2008.[21] The Irish Times selected their South by Southwest performance in Austin, Texas in March 2008 as the best by any Irish act at the event.[22] The band also performed at the Razz Club in Barcelona, Spain.[2] However, they kept a low enough profile on the Irish live circuit for much of the year,[15] only performing at a small number of festivals, including Oxegen, the Bandon Music Festival[23] and the Drogheda Arts Festival.[24] The Irish Times noted their performance in Pet Sounds on the Sunday of Oxegen 2008 by reminiscing upon their performance from two years previously in front of a smaller crowd early on a Sunday morning. Performances of the singles "Basis of Everything" and "The Rules" at Oxegen 2008 were described as having "the kind of hummable sheen that sounds as perfect at a festival as on the radio".[25][26]

Brief split

The band's overall low profile in 2008 was initially thought to be due to them spending time working on their second album.[15] However in December 2008, Delorentos explained in their MySpace blog that a potential record deal had fallen through due to the prospective label encountering financial problems.[21] Added to this, the collapse of Pinnacle, their distribution company, denied the band a chance to release their album in the United Kingdom.[15][21] Their blog entry stated that "these are strange times for everyone, and for us in the music industry there has been a lot of uncertainty. It just happened that our opportunity coincided with this extraordinary time."[21] After performing a number of shows with fellow Dubliners Director,[5] Delorentos announced their break-up on 17 February 2009.[21] The split came about after Yourell decided to leave the band due to his desire to "do other things".[21][27] A MySpace entry stated: "It's with a very heavy heart that we have to let you know that Ronan has decided to leave the band. He feels its best for him to move on and do other things. The three of us will still be making music and will let you know about what happens next".[28] However, they still planned to record their second album, believed to be titled You Can Make Sound,[5] in March 2009 – it would contain all the songs they had written in the previous year – and play "a gig or two" as part of a farewell tour.[21][27] The band's farewell tour includes shows in Whelan's in Dublin and Cyprus Avenue in Cork.[29] Reaction to the split was generally one of shock – The Kinetiks were amongst the neighbouring bands they had influenced, Jacqui Carroll attributed her discovery of Irish music to an early Delorentos show, whilst blogger UnaRocks, John Walshe of State, Jonnie Craig and others had recently been championing the band's sound.[28] Following the split, it was announced that three songs and videos by Delorentos, "Basis of Everything", "Do You Realise" and "The Rules", would be made available to download for the PlayStation 3 karaoke video game, SingStar.[30][31] On 22 April 2009, the band announced they would not split after all, citing a newfound excitement for recording as their reason.[31][32][33] Yourell later explained that the band signing away their independent stance only to be let down by their record company had "knocked us out of our stride" and had led to him considering his future.[34]

You Can Make Sound

The second album by Delorentos, You Can Make Sound, was released on DeloRecords on Friday 9 October 2009 in Ireland.[35] The band released the title track as a free download and the single "Secret" was released on 16 October.[35] They co-presented an edition of The Last Splash with Alison Curtis on Today FM on 20 December.[36] In 2010, they appeared on TG4 music series Ceol Ar An Imeall.[37] They represented Ireland in the Eurosonic Festival in Groningen, Netherlands in January 2010.[38] You Can Make Sound is to be released in the Netherlands in March 2010.[39] On March 19, the band were announced as one of the first acts expected to perform at 2010's Indiependence.[40] They headlined Livestock in Kells, County Meath on 5 June 2010.[41]

Style and influences

A drum kit with the word "delo" written on it, as used by Delorentos.

Delorentos are known for their attractive guitar sound full of hooks and harmonies.[1] The band's influences include Arcade Fire,[6][9] Pixies, The Cure and The Clash.[1] Their musical output has been likened to many modern British bands. The style of their single "Eustace Street", about a troubled love affair set in Dublin's Temple Bar, has been compared to that of Editors, and another single "Stop", influenced by a post-punk sound, has been likened to Bloc Party.[1] The band's second single "The Rules" has been called "a sharp comment on the culture of casual racism".[42] Conlan and Yourell like The Band, whilst Conlan and McCormick like The Redneck Manifesto.[4] Conlan has stated that their earlier music had "a lot more dancey beats to it, but we're always chopping and changing".[4] For instance, at one point the oldest song in the band's set list was "Leave It On" and that was only about eight months old at the time.[4]
