The Script

The Script: Mark Sheehan, Danny O’ Donoghue and Glen Power.


The Script stopped by HMV's Grafton Street store recentlyto perform acoustically and sign copies of their highly anticipated self-titled debut album for the huge crowd that came to see them.

Fresh from their widely acclaimed performance at Oxegen, the Irish three piece are riding a wave of increased interest from insiders who are expecting big things for the band. Following the success of their first two singles released from the album, "We Cry" and "The Man Who Can't Be Moved", the release of their highly anticipated debut album will go a long way towards making their mark on the music industry.

The trio made up of Danny O’ Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power have produced an alternative sound, a juxtaposition of hip hop lyrical, R’nB’ and strong offering of rock. Of late the band have performed at a number of high profile gigs including T4 on The Beach and are due to perform in Marley Park , V Festival and The Button Factory .

The Script stands out in terms of its maturity- the album is inherently honest if not sometimes brutal. Something rarely witnessed on a debut album. The Script is in essence an emotive and provocative offering.
