artist profile :: Little Xs For Eyes

The Dublin-based six-piece released their début album, S.A.D. last winter, to unanimous critical acclaim. It sees the band augment their harmony heavy, folk-tinged sound with power{doo-wop}pop.
Their songs tell of tragic heroes, failed lovers, empty dance floors and the unchanging seasons, taking place on trains, boats, wrestling rings and the inevitable long walk home.
The band have been doing many TV, radio and web slots to promote the album in the last six months including appearances on RTE's The Works, Juice & Two Tube, and sessions on RTE's Arena, Dan Hegerty, and TodayFM's Paul McLoon show.
Some reviews for S.A.D:
Officially our favourite Irish pop band. State Magazine
In the Light is one of the most touching and beautiful Irish tracks of this or any other year. This début is one of the most deliciously sweet hues of bitter you could possibly taste. Eamon Sweeney / day&night / Irish Independent
The execution is perfect, a crystal clear combination of twinkling instruments and beautifully balanced vocals. S.A.D. is a record of real substance. Phil Udel, State
genuinely swoonsome folk-pop melodies...the girl/boy vocal interplay of songwriters Bennie Reilly and Davey Moor sounds natural at every juncture...A cosy blanket of sounds for all seasons Lauren Murphy / The Ticket
bursting with clever, engaging melodies and decorated with delicate vocal harmonies...a superb record.
