Dea Matrona will come to the he Hope & Ruin on May 7th .
Dea matrona have always been an exciting proposition. A duo that pushes boundaries of genres in an authentic yet nostalgic way, their debut album ‘For Your Sins’ bestows a passion project like no other. An album that bridges together an intoxicating blend of indie pop and rock with superb sophistication, influences from Fleetwood Mac, HAIM, The White Stripes and Arctic Monkeys drench through. From the thumping and prowling “So Damn Dangerous” to the whimsical pop wonder “Every Night I Want You”, the low strums of “Black Rain” to the country swing of “Won’t Feel Like This Forever”, it delivers a slice of everything. The album is a completely self-made labour of love, with the band writing, recording and producing the album themselves.
Easily a Dea Matrona classic for long-time fans but the perfect introduction for newcomers, it is set to draw one and all into Dea Matrona’s infectious aura.
Dea Matrona comprises two school friends, Mollie McGinn and Orlaith Forsythe, who grew up busking to their favourite rock ‘n’ roll anthems on the streets of Belfast. Covering the likes of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Homeward Bound”, they have reached an online community of 500,000 followers and racked up over 8 million views on YouTube. With their hard hitting riffs and musical intensity they have established a rare, sensational sound – gritty and real but loaded with melody and style. The band have garnered some incredible support so far from the likes of The Telegraph, Kerrang!, Classic Rock, Clash, The New Cue, The Independent, MusicRadar and more.
