LP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl. Cry Before Dawn return with their first new material in 14 years. Cry Before Dawn first formed in Wexford in 1982. Masterfully combining the intensity of guitar-driven rock with the rich heritage of traditional Irish pipes and whistles, this fusion creates a powerful and dynamic sound that sets them apart in the music scene. The band has reached incredible heights with two double platinum-selling albums and a collection of prestigious national awards. Among these, they won Best Newcomer in 1987 and Best Irish Group in 1989, showcasing their widespread acclaim and popularity across the nation. Renowned for their passionate and electrifying performances, they gained a dedicated following through extensive live shows in Ireland, the UK, and the USA, and sold-out Irelands National Stadium on two memorable occasions. After a break, Cry Before Dawn reunited in 2011, marking the occasion with the release of a Best Of CD, the new single Is This What You Waited For, and a live album titled Live at the Opera House.

Their explosive performances at prominent international festivals like Forest Fest and Night & Day further reinforced their status as one of Irelands premier live acts.
