Rest from Ireland:

Rest began life in late 1999 as Wretch. In 2001, the name was changed and a new direction was pursued as the band disposed of vocals. A two track demo was recorded following the change in direction, as the band continued to play sporadically around their home town.

Soon after, Rest began gigging more frequently, and, in 2002, played around the country for the first time. Numerous gigs around Ireland with numerous bands followed while the four piece wrote the material that what would become their debut album. Along the way, they were fortunate enough to come into contact with the people who would eventually go Out On A Limb and release their album, Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame. Cue more gigs. In 2005, bassist Mark departed the ranks, while the remaining trio of Graham, Steve and Johnny continued to write. As the year drew to a close, Rest headed into the studio with Ciaran O’Shea to record a two track EP, which again has seen Rest move in another direction.

In early 2006, Limericker Colm was welcomed into the fold, filling the vacant bass position, ahead of the planned release of their as-yet unnamed EP, which, it is hoped, will see the light of day in very soon on Out On A Limb Records. The band will also embark on their first British tour in April when they support Cult of Luna.

Their new ep is due out on Outonalimb Records in early 2007.
