The Dyatonics

So we are The Dyatonics (it's the opposite of chromatic but spelt with a "y" because we're cool like that). Variations include "The Dynatonics" "The Deeyatonics" "The Gin and Tonics" and as appeared on the Electric Picnic 2015 poster "The Dyatronics"....classic. We're from Dublin, the only county in Ireland as far as we know! Our music is based around ballsy riffs and punchy ass chords (and the occasional unidentifiable noise sprouting from Malone's pedalboard)....oh and jumping around like a couple of ferrets on some next level uppers. I'm sitting here thinking about what influences to write, but we listen to a serious amount of bollocks: Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Metronomy, Blur, Biffy Clyro, Metz, Royal Blood, Girl Band, Fat White Family, Fugazi, FIDLAR. I guess they'd be the best shout! 2014 was a hectic year for us. We recorded our 2nd studio E.P which we launched on November 10th. We played a heap of gigs, festivals, parties everything....great craic! So far in 2015 we've played a heap of gigs including a mainstage slot at Vantastival, a tasty slot on the Trailer Park Stage at Electric Picnic and some great Dublin shows like the Wellington Weekender at The Workmans Club! So how did this thing we have going on here come about? Well in the early months of 2012 a few lads who could half play their instruments (some of which didn't own their own instruments) got together and played some tunes. Funnily enough the 1st song we EVER wrote is still in our set from time to time today! But yeah when it comes to starting from the bottom we're the prime example, no money, no mates, just the ability to string together some banging tunes together and the ability to have the craic whilst doing it! The great thing is that despite all the craic etc. that we've had, we've also been able to do great things with our music. To date we've organised/played two charity gigs, both of which were sold out in The Academy/UCD and this has allowed us to raise money for great causes. We've met some great people along the way and we hope we can continue to do this for the foreseeable future! Hon the lads. Find us also on Spotify, iTunes and all major digital retailers.
