Dear Acetate - soaring vocal melodies, frantic guitars, spiky synthesizers and furious drumming combine to form a crashing realisation of post-rock. Audiences are singing along one moment and throwing dangerous shapes the next.
‘Lost Days & Nights’ is the self-produced debut album. 11 tracks. 37 minutes. A guitar-driven, breathless smash-and-grab. Engineered by the band’s drummer Shane Shanahan, the album was then mastered by the legendary Ray Staff. He included the band into his busy schedule - often spent working with legends that have included Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Pearl Jam, The Libertines and Muse – and inflicted his genius upon this fiery five-piece’s sound.
Since forming, Dear Acetate have performed to thousands, having been the main support for seminal bands The Proclaimers and The Wonder Stuff, shared a bill with Scouting for Girls and been personally chosen by Embrace front-man Danny McNamara to play the Embrace end of year party and his birthday bash.
Dear Acetate are now looking to wow their fans throughout 2010. The release ‘Lost Days & Nights’ is set to be backed up by a succession of blistering live shows, a combination which is sure to hurtle them into the musical limelight and set a precedent for independent bands everywhere.
