Lead singer Ryan Hennessey said, “Electric Picnic was the highlight of my year. It’s only down the road from us. Athy is a ghost town when Electric Picnic is on, everybody’s just there.
“So it was great to play there, and to pack out the tent was amazing.”
Jimmy Rainsford, drummer and backing vocalist, chimed in, “It was class. That’s what we’ve always said, that’s the festival we want to play.”

When asked whether the duo were concerned about safety during their packed EP performance, the lads quickly answered, “I was like get more in. Get in here!”
“We didn’t really know that there were rows back outside the tent, because we couldn’t really see. Yeah, I wanted more people in there.”
