The band aims to make 2024 their best year yet.
\n** Top 150 Irish Shazam Chart Artist **<\/p>\n

Following the success of their Hard-hitting, anthemic, sincere and honest fist in the air anthem \u2018Berlin Wall\u2019, Rofi James’<\/i> returns with a brand new track \u2018Losing My Mind\u2019. Written during the initial lockdown in Ireland during the Covid 19 pandemic, the vibe is dark and moody conveying an inherent desire to get away from it all and\u00a0 <\/span>escape the mundane.<\/p>\n

The song was written by Ronan<\/i><\/b> <\/i>Flaherty<\/i><\/b>, <\/i>Jamie<\/i><\/b> <\/i>Colleran<\/i><\/b>, <\/i>Joseph<\/i><\/b> <\/i>Flaherty and Dave Skelton<\/i><\/b>, and was mixed and produced by Dave<\/i><\/b> <\/i>Skelton<\/i><\/b>. The track was mastered by one of the <\/i>UK’s<\/i><\/b> <\/i>leading<\/i><\/b> mastering engineers, <\/i>Tim<\/i><\/b> Turan<\/i><\/b>, Turan<\/b> Audio<\/b> Oxford<\/b> (U2, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Toto, Van Halen). In the band’s own words \u201cLosing my mind is a song about hitting your breaking point\u201d. It explores the spectrum of emotions experienced when you\u2019ve hit rock bottom. From moments of self critique and claustrophobia \u201cI\u2019ve been told I was cold when you needed me\u201d, \u201cfeeling like hell, stuck in a cell\u201d, \u201cI have become my own worst enemy\u201d. The song explores the mindset during deep isolation, and the negative effects it can have on a person. It also explores the potential for a positive outcome, overcoming these dark times \u201cwon\u2019t you walk with me, we\u2019ve got more to see\u201d. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since releasing their debut single in 2016, the Galway-based band have performed with established acts including INHALER<\/b>, Ryan<\/b> Sheridan<\/b>, Picture<\/b> This<\/b>, Wild<\/b> Youth<\/b>, Pa Sheehy (Walking On Cars) and The Riptide Movement.
