Indie rockers Afterbliss are back with their third single, ‘Remnants’.

After 18 months of writing songs, November 2020 saw them release their debut single, “Until Sunrise”, which received acclaim on local and national Irish radio play.

It was mixed by Alan Kelly (Kings of Leon, Herbie Hancock), and mastered by Fergal Davis (Muse, Sinead O’Connor).

The song is a potent and well crafted tune that moves at a brisk hair-raising pace enhanced by disco flirtations that weave between the raw guitar riffs. The band take their impressive knack for anthemic melodies and combine this with a dynamic sequence of epic synth progressions and pummeling drums to create a soaring new single that is a joy to listen to and a wonderful assault on the senses. Afterbliss are making a name for themselves with their tight, ambitious sound and deft musicianship and ‘Remnants’ takes this to a new and awe-inspiring level.The track is a must-listen.
