The Coronas-Addicted To Progress
Dublin based band The Coronas are one of the biggest selling independent groups based in Ireland, their last album, Tony Was An Ex-Con shot straight to the top of the Irish indie and Itunes charts whilst securing number three in the national charts. The album went onto to achieve platinum sales and win a prestigious Meteor Award beating the likes of U2, The Script and Snow Patrol. The band also managed to appear on the same stage as the likes of Paul McCartney, Pink and longtime band supporter Imelda May, they also performed at the likes of Hard Rock Calling and Benicassim. The Coronas also proved their popularity by selling out the renowned Olympia three nights in a row and headlined across the UK and Ireland. The band are set to to release their third album, Closer To You in May and on the evidence of the band's latest single, Addicted To Progress is could help propel the band into the indie rock premierleague. The new single is a stunning driving indie pop rocker that opens with a slice of solo piano before swelling into a glorious punchy anthem complete with massive melodic hooks, catchy synths, big sing-a-long vocals and an instantly infectious riff that's purpose built for the biggest arenas in the world. Addicted To Progress remained in the top 5 Irish airplay charts for over 13 weeks and in a just world should do just the same here in England and the rest of Europe. The Coronas have once again delivered a masterclass on writing the perfect indie anthem, expect this one to become a real favourite across the summer's festivals as The Coronas march across Europe continues.
