Objects return this summer with their second single from their raved-about debut EP ‘Deep Sky Objects’. After the success of the Kerry band’s spring tour the band have lined up a string of dates across Ireland including IN- EC’s Future Sounds. The
dark, anti-anthem
‘Desire’ pulls no punches with Kevin O’Brien’s vocals allowed to roam their full range. We see the band come into their own with this rock- ier follow-up to debut single ‘This City’s at War’ while keeping true to their melodic song writing which is set for release July 23, 2018.

Drawing on the bands in-
fluences from The Smiths, Interpol and Radiohead while

flair for a hook worm bridge ‘Desire’ is fuelled by Thomas O’Brien’s thundering drum- ming and DD Foley’s driving bassline before reaching its culmination with a radiant riff that exhibits the bands innate talent for smart song- writing and honest perfor- mance. Deep Sky Objects record-
ed their debut self-titled EP ‘Deep Sky Objects’ in White- well Studios with Ciaran O’Shea. The EP was subse- quently mastered by Fergal Davis. In March 2018 Deep Sky Objects released their debut single ‘This City’s at War’ to an eager audience

Aaron’s One In A Million
by JOANNE DELANEY
17-year-old patient
Aaron McMahon, the chordoma
County Cork,
from Midleton Ireland,
who raised over €100,000 to travel to the United States for treatment has written the song “One in a Million” and starred in his own music video chronicling his journey with chordoma. One in a Million is a
song which deals with the beauty and imper- manence of life. The lyr- ics were written by Aaron who has faced a terminal cancer diagnosis. This song vocalizes his frustra- tions and hopes in a no holds barred fashion. It’s a fusion of rock, rap and pop. The music arrange- ment and performance is by Goldfish Syndrome. Writing
song lyrics
helped Aaron through some of his darkest days.
Both the darkness and his hopes are reflected in this song. Aaron said he inicial-
ly thought he would get a few hundred views on youtube, however its now soring into 5 figured viewing! The song will be avail-
able for download from ITunes from July 6th
!
Aaron, you are a true inspiration! Stay strong!
