Proving themselves as one of the Irish acts to watch in 2021, recent single ‘Being Honest’ was featured in this week’s episode of Made in Chelsea, was placed number one on Vevo’s Incoming Indie playlist, alongside placements on Spotify's New Music Friday, Breath of Fresh Eire and Hottest New Bands playlists - as well their first ever limited edition merchandise run selling out within hours.

Speaking of the video, Post-Party said: “The last year has given us the opportunity to really build up on our skills in other areas such as filmmaking. We shot the music video for ‘Wasting Time’ with each of the band members shot individually, in separate locations. The editing process was tedious but we got there in the end and I don’t we don’t think we could be happier with the result.

There's a strong parallel between the nostalgic feeling in the song and the VHS footage, which is why we decided to shoot with one of our parent’s old Sony hand-cams. There was a bittersweet contrast between the VHS and Digitally-shot footage, creating a stage of colours on which we performed the single.”

Recorded in Dublin’s famous Windmill Lane Studios, ‘Wasting Time’ sees Post-Party explore the fact that not everything is forever, not all relationships have to last and that’s o.k. This song celebrates those short lived connections that we make. Fast paced and energetic, this is a song for people who like the pacey guitar lines of The Strokes, the synths of The Killers and the vocal melodies of Blossoms and The Vaccines. Since forming the band, they have played venues such as the Roisin Dubh in Galway, sold out headline Dublin shows, toured Ireland, performed at Electric Picnic and Independence, supported the likes of Miles Kane and The Sherlocks, as well as playing their own headline show at London's Islington.

Drawing from episodes of their formative years, Post-Party imbue their guitar pop with a honed youthful energy of catchy hooks and bouncy lyrics. The band have set the bar high for what is to come from the quartet in 2021. After spending the course of 2020 writing new material, the band are set to release much awaited new music in the months to come.

A four-piece Indie Pop band based in Dublin; Post-Party consists of Keelan O’Reilly, Peter Toal, Colin Peppard and Matthew O’Reilly.

Forming in late 2018 in Dublin, Post-Party have built up a reputation for their live performances playing in various well-known venues across Ireland and the UK. Bonding over a mutual passion for music and film, the band aspire to create something reflective of their own experiences of growing up. Their influences consist of The Vaccines and Phoenix and they aim to bring fun, jangly guitar pop to the masses with their energetic live performances.

‘Wasting Time’ the brand new single from Post-Party is out now across all digital platforms.
