Lloyd John brings the raw and brutally honest, ‘Took It Too Far’ exploring the vulnerable intersection between celebration and regret
Fresh from his success as a top-three BBC Introducing Ireland pick, Limerick-born artist Lloyd John returns with his most powerful alt-rock anthem yet. This record was born from a fearful place and centres around ‘The Morning After the Night Before’
Raw and brutally honest, ‘Took It Too Far’ explores the vulnerable intersection between celebration and regret. Originally titled “The Fear” – a common Irish term for post-party anxiety – the track was born from a deeply personal experience.
The Limerick native explained the origin of the song, saying, “I threw a small party at my house where I took things too far, passed out and hit my head on the floor. The next day at a social event, I realised people were laughing at me — and not just friends. Strangers knew what had happened too. It felt wrong. What happened in my home, a place that should feel private and safe, had been shared with everyone.”

Taking inspiration from the Sex Pistols’ infamous creative process of living and rehearsing together to forge their raw sound, Lloyd and his band embarked on a four-day intensive residential rehearsal. Living in a space definitely not big enough for five 6ft men, they were living, eating, and creating together 24/7; deconstructing and rebuilding the EP’s tracks for live performance; experimenting with new arrangements and sonic textures; documenting the entire process through analog photography; and posting live updates as they go, to involve the world in the process.
