Irish Indie Rock band who formed while studying at university have launched their first EP. Stephen Moreland and Louis Orr met while studying Physics at Queen's University , Belfast and quickly realised that they both shared a love of music. Having previously written some songs, Stephen played them for Louis and the pair soon decided to form a band which later became ANOMALyS and the pair brought on board fellow band members Padraig Manning and Luka Maxwell.

We never spoke once because we were studying the first year that it was all online during the pandemic. "We met up in second year and quickly realised that we both loved music. I had recorded a lot of stuff and it went absolutely nowhere. I plated them for Louis and we decided to try and start a project together." Louis told us that the EP have a variety of sounds which should appeal to rock fans across the genre. "Our EP goes from heavy rock, metal to ballads and some funky stuff so it is kind of all over the place," he said. "We try and keep it under the umbarella of Indie Rock." The band have played a number of gigs across the island of
Ireland in recent months including a sell-out headline show at Queen's students union and a recent show at Fibber Magee's in
Dublin. "We are very much unknown but we have had brilliant feedback from those who have listened to the EP and have come to our concerts," Stephen finished.
