Silverbacks announce their third album, Easy Being A Winner

Detailing "Something I Know", lyricist and guitarist Kilian O'Kelly explained: “"Lyrically, it tells the story of a religious person who is at a crossroads in their life. They have fallen in love with someone but also remain committed to their faith - a very common story from the past. The singer and main character is damned if they commit themselves to their religious duties as they will always be left wondering what could have been, and deems themselves to be damned by a higher power if they pick love and turn their backs to their ongoing religious commitments and faith. Whether or not the main character is turning to their loved one, or turning to a God, is left open."

As with their 2020 debut album, Fad, and its 2022 follow-up, Archive Material, Silverbacks recorded Easy Being a Winner with Daniel Fox (Gilla Band) in Sonic Studios in Stoneybatter, Dublin.

Some seven years into their career, the sextet describe their upcoming LP as what they definitively sound like as O’Kelly explains: “Now that ‘Easy Being a Winner’ is coming out, I feel I can more confidently say who we are. We’re indie rock. And this album sounds even more like the indie rock I imagined for our band all those years ago.”
