It's been four years since Seneca burst onto the Irish music scene and since then, their ascent has been steady and consistent. The four-piece seamlessly hop off one ladder rung and on to the next, garnering accolades and an ever expanding legion of fans along the way. The band's collective energy is as powerful from the studio as it is the stage; Rob's remarkable range, Brendan's distinctive hooks and sweeping guitar lines, Yvonne's magnetic bass playing and Daragh's explosive drumming, gel together to electrifying effect.
Seneca's debut single, 'Smile', went straight in at no. 33 in the Irish charts when it was released in 2007, and a very respectable finishing position of 27 gave the band even more reason to smile. 'Sweeter Than Bourbon' was released in June 2008, garnering acclaim from press at home and abroad leading to the record being nominated for best Album of the Year by The Clare People Interactive-Irish Music Awards, and for best new comers in the Irish Mid-West Media Awards. The record was also listed by L.E.G. magazine as one of the top 20 albums of 2008. Album track 'So Beautiful' was selected for the 'Ceol' Seachtain Na Gaeilge album which featured the cream of Irish talent including Bell X1, The Corrs, Kila and Paddy Casey to name a few. 'Clarity', the second single released from the album reached no. 19 in the Irish single charts and 'The Outside' and 'Empty Seat' were featured on a Setanta Sports documentary about Irish International Ladies Soccer entitled 'Winning Women'. Their songs were also included on RTE's Capital D programme, while 'Down To Today' was chosen by Today FM DJ Tony Fenton as his Recommended Daily Download.
In 2009 Seneca's tour of the US took in 6 Months and over 90 shows right across the country including shows at the legendary Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, and The Boulder Theater in Colorado where they became the first ever international act to perform at the Bob Dylan Festival, endorsed by the man himself. They also teamed up and performed with two time Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame keyboard legend Bernie Worrell of Talking Heads and Parliament.
In December 2009 and early 2010 they completed two tours of Scandinavia, and on their most recent tour of the US they managed to get regular airplay on over 400 radio stations breaking into the RIYL US Top 100 College radio charts. They reached No. 23 in the FMQB Radio Sub-Modern Singles Chart. And 16 in the K.K.B.B. Tracker Speciality Radio Chart, as well as becoming pick of the week on numerous notable, national stations like KPNT and KBAC, also becoming a hit after an in studio session on the Uncle Nasty Show on Clear Channel's KBPI in Colorado. The tour also saw them sign numerous television and movie deals, most notably MTV's smash hit 'The Hills', 'The City', 'Taking The Stage' and VH1's 'Tough Love', along with having numerous tracks from 'Sweeter Than Bourbon' placed in Hollywood production 'Truth About Kerry' with Stana Katic (James Bond 'Quantum Of Solice', ABC's 'Castle', 'The Spirit') set for release in 2011.
November 2010 will see the band begin recording their second album with Cranberries guitarist and co-songwriter Noel Hogan producing.
