Screenreader

Cork band Screenreader came into being with the release of their debut album "Disconnect the Dots" in January 2012. Burning a trail from start to finish
with mechanical samples, high-impact dynamics and fuzzed up electronic textures, the album has received high praise from critics as well as a quickly growing
fan base, resulting in consistent national radio airplay from the likes of 2fm's Dave Fanning and Dan Hegarty, along with airplay from regional and local
radio stations.

Since their debut the band has played countless well received live shows across the country, clearly demonstrating an intent to not only recreat but expand on the sounds
of their recorded output. An early highlight of these shows was a slot on the main stage at Indiependence 2012 where the band further cemented a reputation
as an energetic and dynamic live act.

2013 saw Screenreader record a live session for 2FM as well as hitting the road to play live as often as possible.
Continuing to gig frequently, the band is spending 2014 on developing new material before hitting the studio again to capture what they've discovered about themselves and their tunes while working hard to win over audiences in a live environment.

Reviews:

"They’ve drawn a crowd, and casual drinkers and smokers enter the room from outside to investigate further. And while the electronic elements of their new
compositions are dialled back somewhat, this allows the songs themselves to come through wonderfully. References to influences are scattered hither and
thither, reminding just as much in places of My Bloody Valentine as of QOTSA and their stoner-pop brethren in others. Relive Reborn meets with a sizeable
round of applause, while lead single HCI impresses, immediacy tempered with artistry and flair. A well-received set and a solid kickstart to an album that
should see them take their place in Cork’s live fold." - drop-d.ie: review of Screenreader's live debut/Disconnect the Dots album launch, March 2012.

"Screenreader, like so few of their contemporaries are making new sounds with old ideas. And they’re really, really good at it." - VIVIDSCRIBE

"In many ways the music on Cork outfit Screenreader’s debut album Disconnect The Dots recalls that absolutely thrilling period during the ‘90s when Irish
alt. rock bands were taking on the world (and winning). The likes of ‘Mint,’ ‘Relive Reborn’ and especially ‘Sticks and Stones, Love’ are all reminiscent
Kerbdog, mid-period Therapy?: the hulking, sludge-laden riffs coupled with their subtle vocal melodies rival Mike Tyson in the unbeatable one-two punch
stakes. It’s an absolutely intoxicating combination. Indeed our only criticism is that nine tracks aren’t nearly enough." - HOTPRESS
