Biography

The Thrills are an Irish indie rock band, formed in 2001 in Dublin. The band was founded by lead vocalist Conor Deasy and guitarist Daniel Ryan, guitarist and bass player Pádraic McMahon, pianist Kevin Horan and drummer Ben Carrigan. Their big break came with their debut album, So Much for the City, which became an Irish number one. The band's sound has been described as "sun-drenched, inspired by classic American pop of the late '60s and early '70s".
