Now (Before It Gets Old)

Hard Working Class Heroes Festival is an independent music showcase & conference which takes place at the end of September every year in venues across Dublin city centre. In 2018, HWCH showcased 50 of Ireland's most exciting emerging artists and the HWCH Music Conference featured over 20 panels and workshops over 3 days.

Red Queen Contest are delighted to announce the release of their first single ‘Now (Before It Gets Old)’ on August 16th. The single is taken from their self-titled debut album, set to be unleashed on the world in October. 
  
The Navan four-piece are Cormac O’Keeffe, Paul Clarke, Paddy Smyth & Barry Fitzgerald. Bravely leaving behind a popular repertoire of songs, written as cult indie outfit ‘The Dolldrums’, the four friends shed their old skin and re-convened as Red Queen Contest in early 2010.

The new band changed course from their indie beginnings and developed a more alternative rock sound with soaring harmonies and gritty guitars, adding an almighty rhythm section to boot! Red Queen Contest’s eponymous debut album documents the band’s take on life in a voice that is at once sceptical, idealistic, seductive and broken.

The album was recorded and produced by Adrian Garry (Bell x 1, Delorentos) at Keely’s Lane Studio in Oldcastle, Co. Meath. Having started out by writing and recording roughly nineteen songs, the album has now been whittled down to ten songs which are diverse in sound and subject matter, but nevertheless sit together as one distinct body of work. The band worked with several other musicians on the album including the well known Cora Venus Lunny & Kate Ellis (Crash Ensemble), who provided strings on the final track of the album "Bee Stings". Two members of the band Shouting At Planes, Kevin Kelleher and Liam Mc Cabe provided saxophone and trumpet on "Rabbits Feet" & "Bee Stings". Other musicians who appear on the album include Alan Carmody (The Handsome Boatmen) and Saramai Leech (Dublin Laptop Orchestra, Saramai & the Swords).

The band are extremely excited about the forthcoming debut album release in October. After two years of hard work, they are ready to share it with the world.
