Groundburst are a three piece from Dublin determined to forge a path for their highly singular take on instrumental rock. At times intense and emotionally charged, at others dense and mysterious, their music drifts through many sonic landscapes.
Formed in 2005, Groundburst have gone through numerous line-up changes and played many gigs on the Dublin live scene, all the while fighting to bring their uncompromising yet highly lyrical material to the Irish listening public. The rhythmic bedrock for the music is provided by Simon Dunne’s driving bass and minimalist keyboards and the jazz-inflected grooves of Cathal O’Leary’s urgent drumming, allowing for Phil Dunne’s guitars to soar and cascade above in walls of ethereal cacophony. The resulting blend stands in stark contrast to the often insipid and lustreless qualities of much of today’s instrumental music.
After spending the beginning of 2009 in hibernation recording their new EP “Everything I didn’t Say and All the Things I wanted to”, Groundburst will be exploding onto the stage again this Summer. Watch this space!
