Fresh from their performances in the National Concert Hall and Knockanstockan Festival, October Fires decamped in the stunning Black Mountain Studios to record their latest single Caught In Your Design. Influenced by themes explored in The Handmaid’s Tale, it is heavy but cracks of light and hope shimmer throughout.
October Fires have been described as large scale indie-folk, haunting and eclectic with a distinct and individualistic sound.
Their music is continually inspired by the autumnal season, with its unique blend of beauty and eeriness, darkness and light.
Since the band released their first radio single Pray in June 2018 and their debut EP Everybody Knows in October 2018 they have been greeted with numerous glowing reviews from Hot Press, Nialler 9, Remy, The Last Mixed Tape, Barry Gruff and featured in Joe.ie Song of the Day.
They have received steady radio play on RTÉ 2XM, RTÉ Radio 1, Radio Nova, 98FM, 8Radio, DublinCity FM, Galway Bay FM, FM104, WLRFM, KCLR FM and 92.5 Phoenix FM.
October Fires have also performed on RTÉ’s The Arena Show with Sean Rocks, 98fm’s Totally Irish with John Barker and award winning DJ Roddy Cleere on KCLR FM.
