Formed in 2020 with the goal of working on a couple of demos together, Left On Read, are a band that would evolve into much more, moving from impromptu jams to a fully formed band sharing a love for musical experimentation.
In 2021 the band was awarded Creative Ireland's - Made in Limerick
grant, which gave them the opportunity to head into the studio to record their debut single Never Enough
, quickly followed by Pick Yourself Up
, Duet
, Most of All
, Dreams
and IDK
.
The latest track Dont Let Go is built around mid-tempo complex beats with synths layered under vocal harmonies.
Speaking about the single the band say
This song wasn't even a thought at the start of this summer. Its without doubt the quickest we've ever done things with a song, but we couldn't just sit on this one - it was too exciting!
Front-man Steven adds;
I sort of set out to write something nice and uplifting, like putting an arm around a buddy to tell them everything would be alright. Sort of reluctantly it became very personal, I kept thinking of specific people in my life, that had recently been through a tough time. This song is for them.
The single Dont Let Go is available through all streaming platforms.
