Cry Before Dawn Formed in 1982, became one of Ireland best loved bands, winning the prestigious IRMA award for “Best Newcomer” 1987, and “Best Irish Group”, in 1989. Their two albums “Crimes Of Conscience” and Witness For The World” went double platinum and they developed a reputation for being one of Irelands most passionate live bands. Their music is enhanced with Uilleann Pipes, Irish flute and whistles, a sound that sets them apart from their contemporaries.

Having recently completed a hugely successful and critically acclaimed reunion tour of Ireland and UK, Cry Before Dawn are committed to continue the comeback, with plans afoot for new releases in 2013. The reunion tour saw emotional, and rousing performances, in sold out venues throughout Ireland, including triumphant shows in Dublin’s Vicar Street, and two nights at Wexfords Opera House. Appearances on the main stage at the London Feis, and a memorable show on the Crawdaddy stage at the Electric Picnic, left the band and the fans wanting more. With new material and plans to record with a top producer, CBD are back and rearing to go again. The “Best of Cry Before Dawn” CD released to coincide with the tour reached no. 12 in the Irish album charts.
On the heels of the reunion shows the band released the critically received live album ““Live At The Opera House” which was recorded over the two Wexford Opera House shows in May of that year. “Live At The Opera House” was released independently released by the band and was produced and mixed by guitarist Steve Belton, who will again join Brendan Wade, Pat Hayes and Vinny Doyle on stage for a series of shows throughout 2013. The multi-talented Dara Munnis completes the line-up on keyboards.
“Is This What You Waited For?” is Cry Before Dawn’s first single in 23 years released in Ireland on April 12th on the legendary Independent Irish label Reekus Records, with whom they’ve had a long relationship dating back to our pre-CBS/EPIC years in 1986.
“We are really proud of the result. It has taken a huge effort but we think it’s been worth it. We’re excited and very proud that against the odds and after all these years, we once again have the opportunity to play our music with renewed vigour and passion. We’re very happy to be working with independent label Reekus on this release. With echoes of the bands beginnings, it feels right for this re-birth of Cry Before Dawn begin with the release of “Is this What You Waited For” and for what the single represents.” ~ Brendan Wade (Cry Before Dawn).
