Having graced the stages of Adelaide’s iconic rock venues since mid 2007, The Irresponsibles deliver a show of energised hard rock dashed with multi-genre influence. Matt (drums) and Don (bass) lay down a solid foundation as a strong rhythm section with a perfect groove, while Tash (guitar) adds texture with guitar hooks that are instantly memorable. Over it all, Miranda's vocals draw you in, from a quiet whisper to a hard edged scream, she will have you hanging on her every word.
The Irresponsibles are well known for delivering energy packed live shows around Australia, for high quality studio recordings that bring out the best in their songwriting, for being the first local Adelaide band to have two songs featured on the Rock Band Network for XBox and PS3, for staying true to their fan base, and for always being professional in their work.
Their new album, From Darkness Into Light, was written during some of the hardest times each band member has gone through personally. The album explores themes of grief at the loss of loved ones, the anxiety felt by everyone during the COVID-19 pandemic, and other very personal feelings.
However, as hinted by the album’s title, throughout it all is a sense of hope, of feeling loved, and knowing that there are things worth fighting for.
Recorded and mixed by Matt Williams at Fat Trax Studio in Adelaide, From Darkness Into Light represents an evolution in songwriting for The Irresponsibles, yet still includes the things they are best known for – catchy hooks and lots of fun.
From Darkness Into Light was released on 21 September 2024 on CD and all digital formats.
