Description
Emerging from Dublin's thriving DIY punk and hardcore scene, The Winter Passing are among the cities most forward thinking indie/emo outfits. Always driven by their collaborative nature and fuelled by their innate sense for making music inspired by the world around them, the band formed in 2011 by siblings Rob and Kate Flynn and guitarist Jamie Collison in their hometown of Tipperary. Fired by a strong do it yourself ethic - having pressed their own records and tapes, booked their own shows across the world - fast forward nine years later and The Winter Passing expertly layer their many inspirations with a heady mix of vulnerability that make their sound difficult to categorise yet easy to love.Armed with a deluge of influences, from Sonic Youth, No Doubt and American Football to a collective fascination with film photography, Irish colloquialism and rural seaside towns, the band have consistently created an infectiously raw mix of punk energy and indie rock quirks that has garnered them critical acclaim; effecting praise from Upset Magazine, The Irish Times and Punktastic.With each member bringing their unique set of skills and influences to the table, the band locked themselves away at The Ranch Production House to record their second album, New Ways Of Living, with producer Neil Kennedy: approaching their new material with a heavy focus on killer melodies and the Flynn's poetical outpourings centred around their experiences with loneliness, bullying, self awareness, and Irish working class anxieties.
