Regardless of the unfortunate event, the Irish indie group just dropped a new body of work, ‘Acting My Age‘. The six-track EP is a follow up to their 2018’s breakout debut LP ‘Tales from the Backseat‘. The title track is the latest cut to showcase the four-piece’s artistic growth as one of the Irish acts to keep an eye on.

The track is about “being young and growing up, but perhaps more about the growing up side of things,” lead vocal Craig Fitzgerald told Dork. “It’s basically all about accepting that anybody can make a mistake, but it doesn’t make you a bad person. Accept the mistake for what it is.”

Our new EP #ActingMyAge is out everywhere now! We had so much fun making this, we’re so proud to finally bring it to you all. Share it with your friends, play it loud. Listen here: https://t.co/R0VD55Cb01

Love,
