Limerick band Randolf and the Crokers new EP Conversation Amongst the Ruins is out now on CD and download.
The Limerick six piece released the EP back in May and now they are off on the second leg of their EP tour starting in November. The band will play in Charlie Malones, Limerick on December 12.
The EP was recorded and mixed in the Lakelands Studios in Athlone by Mike O’Dowd and mastered in Limerick by Richard Dowling of Wav Mastering.
The EP showcases a blend of folk/country/blues influences with ear-pricking harmonies which combine to produce a unique sound that has been carefully honed on the local gig circuit over the last few years.
The four tracks display the band’s spectrum of sound and reflect the presence of the band’s collective approach to songwriting. The country/folk vibes of Hangin’ and History are carefully juxtaposed against the atmospheric female-led vocals in Warfare and The Trace, achieving a perfect balance between both male and female elements of the band.
The six piece band formed in 2011, released their debut single and video for ‘Hangin’ in December 2014 and 2015 sees them release their first physical recording Conversation Amongst the Ruins. The band has played locally in various Limerick venues over the years and has had many support slots playing with the likes of O Emperor, Mark Geary, Moscow Metro, John Blek & the Rats and most recently The Lost Brothers. The first leg of their EP tour saw them headlining Whealans in Dublin, Monroes Galway , Dolans Limerick , Kennys Lahinch and The Greyhound Kilkee. The band now finish off the tour with the following dates:
13th November – Levis’ Bar , Ballydehob, Co.Cork
19th November – Central Arts, Central Hall, Waterford
21st November – JJ Barrows, Roscommon
25th November – DeBarra’s , Clonakilty, Co.Cork
