Since their formation in 2019, Soda Blonde—comprised of Faye O’Rourke (vocals), Adam O’Regan (guitar),Dylan Lynch (drums), and Donagh Seaver-O’Leary (bass)—has carved out a distinct space in the music world
with their self-produced sound, introspective lyrics, and arresting visuals. Their sophomore album Dream Big has
not only solidified their reputation but also propelled them into new creative territories. The album, a bold
statement of intent, has resonated deeply with fans and critics alike, earning nominations for Album of the Year
and Song of the Year (“Bad Machine”) at the Choice Music Prize.
The band’s journey in 2024 has been nothing short of extraordinary. January saw them embark on their first soldout EU tour, a milestone that showcased their growing international appeal. In March, Soda Blonde made
headlines by withdrawing from their scheduled performance at SXSW, taking a principled stand against the
festival’s association with the U.S. military. This decision was a catalyst for the creation of the visually striking and
thought-provoking music video for “Why Die For Danzig,” which offers a biting commentary on society’s complicity
in the war machine.
However, the true highlight of the year came in July, when Soda Blonde performed a monumental sold-out show
at Dublin’s National Concert Hall. Teaming up with the Irish National Symphony Orchestra, the band presented
orchestral arrangements of Dream Big, blending the cinematic grandeur of a full orchestra with their signature
sound. The evening was recorded and will soon be released as both a concert film and a live album, allowing fans
to relive this unforgettable experience.
