- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Dynamic Alternative-Punk-Rock Quartet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. For Fans
of: Manchester Orchestra, Brand New, Reuben & Twin Atlantic.
The bandÆs name, taken from a bible quotation, evokes questions surrounding
their personal and musical background.
ôWe were brought up within the church, so questioning religion, overcoming the
fear of challenging leaders, and provoking the growth of new ideas are
reoccurring themes on this record,ö explains Platt.
Exploring these aspects is a central theme for the bandÆs debut album
æEverything IÆve LearntÆ, the title is taken from the lyric "...everything
I've learnt amounts to nothing". Although sounding literal, the record's name
holds a more profound meaning regarding the band's growth.
Reminiscent of early British post-hardcore (Reuben, Idlewild, Biffy Clyro and
Hundred Reasons) and the harmony-driven US rock of Brand New and Manchester
Orchestra, æEverything I've LearntÆ still manages to find its own place
amongst these behemoths.
"We wouldnÆt be a band if it wasn't for acts like SixStarHotel and Panama
Kings," drummer Jamie Neish points out. "Those bands meant a lot to us early
on, they gave us the confidence to do our own thing. Growing up with big bands
playing big stages made music seem untouchable, but after seeing local bands
performing in tiny venues to crowds of die-hard followers, we felt like this
was something we could actually accomplish.ö
During live performances, MTC provides an enthralling, uplifting and
participatory experience for all, from the smallest of European club shows up
to the bigger stages, where they've already supported the likes of Jimmy Eat
World, Feeder, Dinosaur Pile Up and Twin Atlantic.
ôWe love being in the studio and we love writing, but thereÆs nothing better
than watching an audience sing along to something weÆve created," says Platt.
"We're just singing songs, trying to be honest and hoping to find common
ground with the people listening."
