After the demise of KARNAYNA, that bands remaining members formed OLD SEASON in 2003 and released their debut EP “Volume One” that same year. And followed this up with their outstanding full length album titled “Archaic Creation” in 2009. The following year saw the band loose guitarist Ciaran Doyle and vocalist Frank Brennan (MOURNING BELOVETH). However, unwilling to accept defeat, the remaining members scouted for suitable replacements while also embarking on, what would turn out to be, a prolific period of song-writing.
New members were found in Jimmy Kiernan joining the fold on guitars, whose creative flair and grasp of melody fitted seamlessly within the band’s musical structures and injected further impetus to their songwriting. It would take another two years, and numerous auditions before the band would finally settle on a vocalist worthy of the position. It was John Bonham’s audition in July of 2013 that would see the band take immediate interest and it was instantly clear that OLD SEASON had finally found their new vocalist. John’s vocal style and all-round creative ability have seen him fit effortlessly into the band’s creative fabric.
OLD SEASON is:
John Bonham (Vocals), Jimmy Blanchfield (Guitars), Jimmy Kiernan (Guitars), Dave Copley (Bass), Anto Walsh (Drums), Dermod Smyth (Keys/Piano)
