About Me

Tagline
Insula, out now
Me, Myself, and I
Formed in June 2008, South went on to win the Hype Entertainment Battle Of The Bands just three months later.

Following the competition South underwent a lineup change; founding members Thomas Donoghue (Guitar/Vocals) and Ken Farrell (Bass) were joined by Alan Dawson (Drums/Vocals) to complete the progressive grunge rock three-piece.

South are currently recording our debut album ‘Insula’ which is due out in the Summer of 2009.

Our official website is currently under construction so please don’t forget to subscribe to our blog for updates on ‘Insula’ and upcoming tour dates, photos, music videos and more.

  • INSULA UPDATE: Progress so far & track-listing

    The past few weeks have been busy as we get everything ready for the launch of our debut album, so here's an update on all things Insula;

    MIXING
    Daw has spent the past few weeks working on the mixes and the songs are sounding great. In the next few weeks we'll be sending them off to get mastered and then the duplication process will begin.

    THE LAUNCH & TOUR DATES
    If you're a promoter/gig organiser or a band and you want to play with us or you'd like us to play in your town this Summer then get in touch.

    The launch dates for 'Insula' have been confirmed and we've got several gigs booked around the country. We're still waiting on a few more dates to be confirmed and then we'll be announcing them.

    We are still looking for more gigs and places to play so as I've said: just get in touch with us and we'll sort something out.

    THE MAKING OF INSULA (Videos & Photos)
    In the run up to the album launch we'll be releasing a series of behind the scenes videos from 'The Making Of Insula'.

    The videos capture our recording process in the Mill Studio, shot by photographer/film maker Ross Costigan (www.oss237.com), and we think they will give you a perfect sneak preview of things to come. If you haven't already seen the teaser trailer then check it out on our flashbox.

    We've also just uploaded the first batch of behind the scenes photos to our photo section so please check them out and leave some comments. There's plenty more to come.

  • The Making Of Insula (Album Update & Teaser Trailer)

    A lot of people have been asking about the album so here's an update; we've spent the past few weeks recording and we're delighted to say that our debut album 'Insula' is almost finished.

    It will still need to be mixed, mastered and duplicated but we're planning on launching it in the middle of the Summer. The recording process was a lot of fun and we're really happy with how it's all sounding. Thanks to everyone for all the comments on the tracks we've uploaded, there's so much more to come. Thanks to everyone who came to our gig with Tame last Thursday, we had an awesome night and we can't wait to announce the release date for 'Insula' along with tour dates so we can gig around the country this Summer.

    During the recording process, we were joined in the studio by photographer & film maker Ross Costigan (check out his website: www.oss237.com), we've been working with him on some behind the scenes videos and photos that we're calling 'The Making Of Insula'

    Over the next few weeks we'll be announcing news and updates, the release date for 'Insula', gigs, videos, photos and more.

    For now, check out our flashbox for the brand new teaser trailer for 'The Making Of Insula'. For best results, view it in HD.

    More updates soon

    Brian here, thanks so much for coming and playing last night and sorry about tonight! We really got fucked what with Emmet's car bailing out and losing shite. Looking forward to the gig on the 7th though. Gave Strands a good listen to on the way home too, the production is excellent and the songs are blistering! Thanks again for everything, talk again soon.
