God is an Astronaut are a 4 piece who hail from Glen of the Downs, Ireland. Currently one of the world”s biggest instrumental bands, the band was formed by twin brothers Niels and Torsten Kinsella in 2002 and were later joined by Lloyd Hanney on drums and Jamie Deane on keyboard/piano.  After releasing their debut album ‘The End of the Beginning’ in 2002, the band picked up interest mainly through word of mouth dgfev online casino and on-line with rave reviews on blogs. Both video singles from the album “The End of the Beginning” and “From Dust to the Beyond” received airplay across Europe on MTV.  In early 2005 they released their breakthrough album “All is Violent, All is Bright” and this was followed by “Far From Refuge” in 2007 and “Age of the Fifth Sun” in 2010. Their entire back catalogue is due for re-release in 2012 and all the albums have been re-mastered by Tim Young at Metropolis Mastering whose credits include Massive Attack and The Beatles.  God is An Astronaut have toured extensively in Europe and the USA and are considered one of the most intense live acts ever to come from Ireland due to their visual and sonic barrage.

“Age Of The Fifth Sun, the fifth album to date from Wicklow’s finest, is both a great leap forward and a distillation of everything that makes their back catalogue so compelling.” 8/10 AU Magazine
