“THE BEST of brand new music that you are going to hear and it's from a band, called Enola Gay... Pushing the boundaries, breaking the mould!”
So said Jack Saunders of the BBC and MTV, about the Belfast post-punk band, Enola Gay, whose music and full-blooded live performances, have been crateing a storm of attention and positive praise.
As District magazine said: “The Belfast crew’s willingness to experiment, no f***s given attitude and fierce delivery is enough to have us pining for their next release.”
Galway will be able to see why when the post-punk/noise rock, politically engaged, quartet plays the Róisín Dubh on Friday November 26 at 8pm.
The group released their debut single 'The Birth of A Nation' in October 2020, which addressed systemic oppressions and racism. The summer saw 'Sofa Surfing', which dealt with substance abuse. It was a song the band described as "a deeply personal insight into a turbulent chapter of our teens".
Drawing inspiration from left-field electronica (the band members met at a Prodigy concert ), hip hop, and late 1970s punk and post-punk, Enola Gay have played Ireland Music Week, Eurosonic, and SXSW - in what were their sixth, seventh, and eighth performances respectively!
As sceneandheardnu.com said in an article entitled ‘Birth of a Revolutionary Band’: “Enola Gay have demonstrated enough passion, intelligence, and virtuosity to create a thunderous music career.”
