Emerging pop punk band Kyral set to unleash fierce new single ‘The Tide’

Kyral are a Progressive Pop-Punk band from Dublin, injecting the chaos back into guitar music. Their fast-paced, energetic sound grabs your attention and refuses to sit still. If you’re looking for relaxing music, then you’re looking in the wrong place.

Kyral began in the depths of Lockdown. The solitude allowed guitarist Tara Behan to lock into a unique sound, pushing 2000’s emo rock to strange, new places. Knowing that she was onto something special, she enlisted longtime friend Alex Webb on vocals. Alex’s powerful melodies soared above Tara’s frenetic guitars, resulting in an arresting sound. To find a rhythm section, the duo turned to social media. After running the gauntlet of auditions, Jack Lennon (Drums) and Tom Ambrose (Bass) secured the gig, providing an unyielding foundation upon which Kyral’s music builds to dizzying heights.

They supported Ailsha in The Grand Social earlier this year and had their tracks ‘Asphyxia’ and ‘The Point’ played on RTE 2XM.

If you’re into Paramore, Periphery, Don Broco then Kyral are a band you need to get into your ears!

The Tide

It all started in Iceland. The deafening roar of Gullfoss waterfall was inescapable. As the water cascaded down the 20 metre drop, a subtle rhythm of inhalation and release developed. Tom was captivated, and compelled to capture this crashing, explosive power. Tara and Jack took Tom’s rough demo and elevated it to a whole new level, introducing thunderous drums, subtle grooves, and susurrant lead guitar parts.

Alex’s vocals appear like a siren, her voice piercing through the mist. On the verses, she draws you in, before taking charge of the chorus’ cacophony, guiding you through the storm like the captain of a ship. On top of this chaotic bedrock, Alex reflects on past relationships, reconciliations and the struggle of moving forward into uncharted waters.

The song explores the challenges of grieving the end of relationships and friendships, and the process of coming to terms with life without important people. It reflects on difficult conversations and emotions from the past, capturing how they felt during the breakdown.

The verses evoke specific moments of struggle, while the chorus expresses the feelings that

emerge after reflecting on it all.

‘THE TIDE’ OUT ON OCTOBER 25th
