– Kodaline – Live at London Calling – Nov. 3, 2012
Kodaline in concert from the London Calling festival in 2012.
Originally known as 21 Demands, Kodaline adopted their current name in 2012 to coincide with the changing of their music. The group comprises Steve Garrigan, Mark Prendergast, Vincent May and Jason Boland.
Garrigan and Prendergast grew up in Swords, Dublin, and have known each other since childhood. May and Garrigan attended Colaiste Choilm CBS, Swords, where they participated in battles of the bands. Boland joined the group in 2012. They have released four albums: In a Perfect World (2013), Coming Up for Air (2015), and Politics of Living (2018). Their fourth studio album, One Day at a Time, was released on 12 June 2020.
Having released their first ep in September of 2012, they were quickly put on BBC’s Sound of 2013 list as a band to watch.
Here they are in a short concert via the London Calling Festival 2012, recorded by VPRO in Holland on November 3, 2012.
