There’s a long story to how I met The Journals. I will admit it was garden related, partly because they were playing in one but young bands get take their breaks as and when you can. That aside, The Journals are a brilliant young band. They were only supposed to played one song, max two. They played a full set and I should add all of the songs are self penned.
Formed in early 2010 by Ollie Moyles and Alex Cummins, The Journals line is completed by Fergus Cahillane, Niall Thornton, and Luke O’Neill. Young they maybe, but surprising possibly and albeit under varying guises they’ve already managed to play venues such as ALT, the sugar club, Kielys, Kennedys, The Mercentile, The Headline, RDS and more.
Their date to fame however was recently when live at Whelans they played support to Cashier no. 9. Not bad. Personally, they remind me of a sort of The Stunning crossed with The Pixies. Either or, in years to come I’ll look forward to saying I remember seeing them years ago when…. watch this space.

Update: almost forgot this one. Fair dues on the recording, but a cracking tune.
Really love this band. Was not expecting such a lovely bunch of lads who play such incredible music. Just great. The garden looks pretty good too! (wink, wink).
