LIVING IN THE CITY

COME ON OUT TONIGHT

Release Date  21st October 

Written by Darragh Mc Grane

The song itself represents the love and loss of a relationship, I wrote the song at a time when I felt down about the current relationship I was in and was unsure about the future and were the relationship was going to go. I guess I realised during the process of writing the song that I did indeed want to be with that person and wanted to express my love and feelings in the song and the lyrics. But I think people can relate to the song in different ways and that's all i wanted to get across was the emotional impact whether it was a feeling of uncertainty ,loss or love.

Album info:

The band’s debut LP studio album ‘First Impressions' will be released on Friday 9th June 2018. The album was written, arranged, recorded, mixed and honed over a chaotic 4-year period of the birth of children, the development of relationships and the realisation of what life can entail.

'These song mean so much to me I have written them all about the situations in which my life has led me over these past 4 years, from my own personal relationship, to becoming a father and how love, happiness and emotions can take you on such a journey' Darragh McGrane


Short BIO:

Penrose are a 4 piece band put together by Darragh McGrane and can now be described as a solid Indie Pop band with catchy uplifting indie songs and anthems that have “attitude” and stick in your head. Mixing the pop sensibilities & harmonies of The Beatles / ELO, the snarling vocals of Richard Ashcroft (The Verve) and the rhythmic acoustic guitars of Oasis, Penrose are a truly powerful force…live and on record. The band mixes their 60’s and 90’s influences bringing them together and putting a modern feel and attitude to the music they create.
BIO:
In 2015 Penrose embarked on a journey which has seen the band play some extensive gigs and festivals in Ireland and supporting great acts such as Aslan at Dublin's Vicar Street, two years running and to a full house for their Christmas shows. In the UK, the band was invited to play several Musicians Against Homelessness events in cities across the UK, a highly respected campaign initiated and still currently organised by Alan McGee (Creation Records, Oasis, The Libertines, Primal Scream etc).
Described as a solid indie pop band with catchy uplifting indie songs, Penrose has documented the adventure so far and brought it all together in their debut album - "First Impressions".
To celebrate the release of the album, Penrose will be holding a very special launch night in the Sound House on Eden Quay, Dublin on Saturday, 09th June. The band is really excited about the album and cannot wait to share it with their fans who have grown in numbers to the point of a sell out gig at Whelan's last November.
Admission is 8 euro (plus booking fee) and support on the night is from Dublin band, The Valves.
Penrose are: Darragh McGrane (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Mark Bolger (bass), Caolan Fitzsimons (lead guitar) and Donal Bowens (drums).

PENROSE - FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Irish indie ensemble Penrose has its roots in a two person act originally started by musician Darragh McGrane in 2015. The line-up has gradually expanded to a five-piece ensemble in 2015 and their pedigree is quickly developing with the band supporting the likes of Aslan, Jack L, Damian Dempsey and Paddy Casey on the vibrant Irish live scene…each performance well lauded by those media present at the gigs.

Penrose can now be described as a solid Indie Pop band with catchy uplifting indie songs and anthems that have “attitude” and stick in your head. Mixing the pop sensibilities & harmonies of The Beatles / ELO, the snarling vocals of Richard Ashcroft (The Verve) and the rhythmic acoustic guitars of Aslan, Penrose are a truly powerful force…live and on record. The band mixes their 60’s and 90’s influences bringing them together in a modern perspective of the current music scene and culture.

The line-up sees Caolan Fitzsimons (lead guitar), Mark Bolger (bass), Benji Hayes (Keys), Donal Bowens(Drums) and Darragh McGrane (lead vocals and rhythm guitar). The band successfully unveiled their debut EP “Live for the Dream” which charted at NO.3 in the Irish charts to a sell-out house of fans & media at The Grand Social July 2015. The Band then released there critically acclaimed single MELODY which charted at No. 10 in the Irish charts and was picked up by all Irish national radio stations such as Today FM, FM 104 and RTE, with TV appearances to on RTE's TwoTube, the band then followed this up with yet another sellout show to their home fans in Dublin’s own Academy 2 venue. Having just released another single SIGN ON in MAY 16 with a string of summer dates in the UK and Ireland Penrose were invited back to the UK by Alan Mc Gee (Creation records) to play gigs as part of the Musicians against Homelessness campaign taking place across the UK. The lads were then asked to support one of their main influences and heroes Aslan as part of the Made in Dublin Revisited gigs that took place in Vicar Street last Dec. The band have just released their fourth single Let’s Go Out (June 17) to great response from Irish radio and Media. With festivals such as Sea Sessions, Indiependence and Electric Picnic all having the band on the bill this year and a 2nd EP due for late Autumn, 2017 looks to be a big exciting year for the band.
