In total, they had five different songs over various episodes of The OC — so the producers were huge fans at the very least. Add us: dailyedge. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail.

Maybe the second record was a little bit cryptic in places, and I kinda liked the idea of doing something that was very direct and honest. I was kind of enjoying the early Beatles songs. So all aspects of it. Teenage life is being played out in music by those that are experiencing it first hand, like The View and Arctic Monkeys for instance.
How does your teenage opera compare to theirs? Not old, but older! Did you have intentions of how you wanted to change sonically? Where did you want your sound to go? Padraic: It was all about the energy. Everything had to be us and just us. Then we kind of thought about it.
We had to get over a certain block of using Tony again. M, U2 and Oasis. You must have seen rock life to its excess. Conor: We had a couple of great nights with Oasis. Which is, in my view, to seriously under-estimate the records they left behind them.
And which got better — and less commercially successful — as they went. Curiously enough, the promo video featured Conor Deasy, alone, walking yet another sea-front, with the rest of the band nowhere. The Thrills were never the finished article but, for five years, they were one of the most interesting and freshest Irish bands at play in the deeper end of the pool.
Interesting article, especially the juxtaposition with the Celtic Tiger, though personally I saw them as more heralding a fresh dawn of Irish sounds, in what was the start of a new millennium. Like Like. Thanks v much, Al. Its no huge secret that most pop bands have a limited life-span. But The Thrills were gone as suddenly as they landed, I think. Its curious. All the best, Colm. Thanks very much for reading, Rishi. And glad you liked it. Personally speaking, I thought they had a bit more gas in the tank and were maybe finding their feet, but ….
Great article. I was unaware of them while they were together but love the niche they fill in my collection. Very enjoyable read. Came across the article by chance after hearing the tune to big sur in Asda with no vocals and racked my brain for couple of hours trying figure out the song. Article is a nice read, and fills in a few blank in my memory of them. Thanks for reading, Con.
And for posting. Glad you enjoyed the piece and I accept the points you make. Really enjoyed this article. I just listened to the 2nd and 3rd albums all the way through. Up until that we were enjoying it immensely. The album just kinda came out at the end of the tour, the night we played the Troubadour in LA.
I asked him about John Lennon and he said he had dinner with him every Wednesday for three months. He introduced Bruce Springsteen to Phil Spector.
When I mention the feeling of knives-out for the band in media circles around the time of their Beck support slot in the Point, Daniel says this:. But we got really good initial press in Ireland, and it was only about three months after the album came out that other opinions started coming through. Watching this, I suspect album number two may be a more muscular and unshaven affair, although Conor Deasy is reluctant to make any predictions.
