About the Artist: Hailing from the mystical land of Dublin, Ireland, Kodaline (formerly known as 21 Demands) is a rock band consisting of Steve Garrigan (lead vocals), Mark Prendergast (lead guitar), Vinny May (drums), and Jason Boland (bass guitar). From mellow, down-to-earth tunes such as "All I Want", to more upbeat songs like "Love Like This", Kodaline displays a wide range of musical talent. And while exploring their music you may find a common theme in most of the band's songs: love-or sometimes the lack of it. As Garrigan put it on the band's website, "Break-ups make it really easy to write.". Well those break-ups certainly led to some amazing songs filled with emotional depth and sincerity. It's that same depth and sincerity that makes Kodaline so special. Also, they're from Ireland so that just makes them automatically awesome. Kodaline's first studio album, In A Perfect World, was released in June of 2013, and I have a feeling there are many more albums where that came from.

Key Songs: "One Day", "All I Want", "Pray", "High Hopes", "Love Like This", "Way Back When"
