Whenyoung - Given Up
Following their recent singles Heaven on Earth and their cover of the Cranberries classic Dreams, Limerick’s finest indie-poppers Whenyoung release their new EP Given Up released through Virgin EMI. The title track itself is a perfect example of the band’s sound. Underpinned by a driving, Pixies-esque bassline and chiming guitars, it’s mix of gritty alt-rock edge with a shimmering chorus showcases just how special the band’s song writing is. In the band’s own words, “Given Up was written after a series of late nights and self-inflicted misdirection. The central message is to take your life by the reins and create your own future.” The 10" features their tribute to Dolores O'Riordan with a faithful cover of Dreams.
