Our Worth A Listen Track This Week Comes From D-Day

D-Day are a four piece band from Galway. The band was formed by brothers Darragh (lead guitar, lead vocals) and Keith Whyte (drums/ percussion) who joined forces with school friends Chris Breslin (bass, backing vocals) and Cathal Sweeney (rhythm guitar, backing vocals). This quartet burst onto the Irish music scene in 2012 supporting Thin Lizzy (Volvo Ocean Race Festival). Since then, ‘D-Day’ have been on a non-stop mission to introduce new audiences to their own alternative brand of rock ‘n’ roll sensibility. With a self-titled five track EP under their belt they’ve toured all around Ireland, lighting up the stage at the likes of Monroe’s Live, Fibber Magee’s and Róisín Dubh . Last year saw D-Day bring their hectic summer schedule to a fitting end with their debut show at Whelan’s and a performance for Philomena Lynott at ‘The Bash for Philo’.
