Underwater Picnic 'Losing Fast' review

Underwater Picnic are a 5 piece band from Galway, Ireland, featuring Ben Rogan, Brian FitzGibbon, Declan Ridley, Eoghan Hynes, and Pierce Cunnane. While still being relatively new, having formed in February 2009, they are a breath of fresh air, and exactly what the music scene needs.


Writing their own original songs and covering others, the band have gone from strength to strength, playing many gigs in the locality, and also appearing on national television on Pop4. I had the pleasure of catching them in Galway recently, and they have all the energy added to their songs, and the charisma that every band needs (but not every band has!)


Their latest single Losing Fast, released in August, has all the things a song could need, and could easily be played on national radio too. With a lot of Two Door Cinema Club and Bloc Party influences, as well as Paramore with their own edge to it, I know they are going to be huge.
