- Delorentos abstract "Delorentos are a Dublin-based Irish alternative rock band, formed in 2005. The band consist of four members: Ró (vocals, guitar, piano), Kier (vocals, guitar), Níal (backing vocals) and Ross (drums, backing vocals).The band's sound is based around having four singer-songwriters, with each member taking lead vocals on various albums' tracks and singles. In 2013 they won the Choice Music Prize Irish Album of the Year for "Little Sparks".The band's early sound was rooted in post-punk and pop but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. In 2010, they began experimenting with acoustic music, a theme that would expand and develop their sound and audience.The band have released three critically acclaimed albums; 2007's In Love with Detail, 2009's You Can Make Sound and 2012's Little Sparks.The band's debut album In Love with Detail was critically acclaimed in Ireland, being nominated for the Choice Music Prize and in the Best Irish Album category at the 2007 Meteor Awards, at which Delorentos were also nominated for Best New Irish Band. Two extended plays were also been released to accompany their debut; their debut release, titled Leave It On, in October 2005, and the follow-up EP, titled Do You Realise, came out in November 2007. The early Delorentos discography consists of a selection of singles which entered the Irish Singles Chart, such as "The Rules" in May 2006 and "Stop" in July 2007.Delorentos spent much of 2008 working on their second album, playing few live shows. By early 2009, they were reported to be performing with Director as both bands showcased material from their second albums. However, on 17 February 2009, Delorentos announced on their MySpace and official website that Rónan Yourell had decided to leave the band. The entire band subsequently announced a split but rescinded this decision two months later. Their second album You Can Make Sound was released on 9 October 2009 and led to two more Meteor nominations for Delorentos in 2010.Delorentos released their third album Little Sparks in early 2012. The release was notable for its inventive release campaign: they toured acoustically to release the preceding EP, "Little Sparks EP" (which was released as part of a full-colour 40-page creative magazine), they slowly released their songs on YouTube as part of an Acoustic project, and they opened up their own pop-up record shops to perform in on the week of release. The latter idea proved to be very popular - with the band visiting cities around Ireland and opening up one-day stores in empty shops. The band discussed this radical new idea on RTÉ's "the Business with George Lee" and today fm's "The Last Word with Matt cooper", and the shops were also written about in the Irish Times. The critical reception to the record was the best of the band's career, with five-star reviews from State.ie, Mail on Sunday, the Star and Heinekenmusic.ie, and 4.5 stars from Entertainment.ie, and 4 stars from Hotpress, Irish Times, Irish Independent, Sunday Times, Metro, RTÉ guide, Goldenplec.ie and many more. It was described by entertainment.ie: “Little Sparks is not only an album which is Delorentos’ best work to date, but one of the finest Irish releases of recent times" and by the Irish Times as "Full of brave, bracing and emotionally direct songs, it’s the sound of a band who have found their musical and lyrical groove.", and by hotpress as “An early bid for Irish album of the year… Little sparks is the sound of a group striving to write the flab-free, solid-gold pop record of their lives, mission accomplished.”Aside from headline shows, Delorentos have opened a number of high profile shows throughout their career, including 2013 support slots for Bruce Springsteen in Kilkenny, in 2007 with Sinéad O'Connor at Heineken Green Energy, the Dave Matthews Band at the Point Theatre and Arctic Monkeys, Supergrass and The Coral at Malahide Castle. The band have also played with the likes of Idlewild, Gang of Four, Bell X1 and The Futureheads in locations such as London, New York City, Chicago, Madrid and Toronto. They have featured at numerous major festivals and tours including Electric Picnic, Oxegen, Bennicassim, CMJ, Eurosonic and South by Southwest. Delorentos were invited to play a set at the 2006 edition of Other Voices: Songs From a Room and were also regular performers on The Cafe. They have built up a small fanbase in the neighbouring United Kingdom through appearances on television shows such as CD:UK. They have also had several songs feature on the PlayStation 3 karaoke video game, SingStar.Delorentos are also well known for their Irish speaking; they have released several songs in Irish, performed a set in Irish in 2011, and in 2012 were heavily featured in Bernard Dunne's Brod Club on RTÉ TV in Ireland.".
