Holy Moly,
We've very proud to announce - You Can Make Sound has entered the Irish Album chart at No.2!

"A supremely assured set (of songs)" Hot Press Magazine - 4/5
"A terrific live band...equally effective on record." Star Sunday -7.5/10
"Fist-pumping statements of defiance, given added heft by sharp, radio-friendly production. Stirring stuff." Sunday Business Post - 4/5

"The smart money says Delorentos' high energy sound and punchy vigour will win them plenty of devotees, and this is an album that will soar live." Dubliner Magazine
"They could rule the world with new album You Can Make Sound" -Star Sunday
"A record that establishes Delorentos as a band with real depth and plenty of ideas." -Entertainment.ie 3.5/5
"The distinctive rhythm and effortless cool of You Can Make Sound reinforcing the notion that this is one of the best Irish bands around." Limerick Leader 4/5
On Friday when the album was launched, we played HMV -the air conditioning had broken down so it was a total sweat pit, which made it pretty intense so thanks to everyone that came down to the basement to say hi and didn't collapse in the heat!:
And then on Saturday we played in Road Records , well 2 of us did! It was an early morning intimate acoustic kind of set up, which went really well, we were really happy with how it sounded, and looking back at the videos people have put up on youtube it was a pretty special thing to do, so thanks to Dave and Julie at Road for setting it up for us!
and thank you to everyone that pre-ordered albums from Road Records, we called around there last week and signed them all before tearing across Dublin City to play the O2 Blue Room sessions in the Old Point Depot, -we had never been there before, it's awesome, can't wait to (hopefully) play there again!
If you'd like to get the album on-line Digitally- go to iTunes or Nokia.ie
or
if you want to get a physical copy go to the Road Records website and have it delivered, or in all other good record shops around Ireland! :)
So we're hitting the road, and from this Thursday's gig in Dundalk's Spirit Store and Friday's in Dolans Warehouse we'll be back touring, playing songs from the new album. Here's the rest of the live dates, and where to book tickets: click here
[And if anyone has anywhere they'd like to see us play... let us know. :)]
Very lastly, if you have a minute, check out the new delorentos.net site (that Ross designed!) and let us know what you think! You can sign up to the mailing list there for Band Updates and stuff....
