Compelling, driven and annoyingly hooky" - Wired Up
“Impressively diverse but uniformly catchy”– Bruised Fruit
A year is a short time for a band to be together, however in that time Sparks Fly have managed go from five slightly nervous guys playing together for the first time to appearing at Ireland's largest unsigned industry event, Dublin's Hard Working Class Heroes Festival. Along the way they have won the £2500 grand prize at the Jagger's Common Room battle of the bands, recorded a session for BBC Radio 1, gathered praise from ex-Killers manager Larry Little and LA Snow Patrol agent Steve Strange, and been playlisted multiple times on BBC Radio 1, BBC6 Music and Ireland’s Phantom FM.
The charm of Sparks Fly’s music is its accessibility and broad appeal. The tracks on their recently released EP 'Save Some for Me' are a diverse set of songs that showcase the band's musical breadth, ranging from quirky sunkissed acoustic performances, through the title track's reflective but powerful slow burn, to driving indie rock. Their three guitar/three part harmony combination backed up by a powerful rhythm section enable them to create vintage wall of sound rock music and reflective, subtle confessionals and has seen them compared to such artist as Elbow, Doves and Adam Green.
