One of the unexpected success stories of 2007: The Coronas took the Irish indie scene by storm with a run of sold-out shows in Dublin, two singles in the Top 20, a well-received debut album and a Meteor Music Award. The band, comprising singer-songwriter Danny O’Reilly, bassist Graham Knox and drummer Conor Egan, was formed as a trio in the Dublin neighbourhood of Terenure when they were fifteen years old and is now known for its sing-along choruses and sold-out international tours. In 2024, they released their latest album, ‘Thoughts & Observations’, packed with raw tracks and authentic emotions, all superbly brought together by producer George Murphy. Who knows what The Coronas have in store for us in the coming year.
