The Dinah Brand

The Dinah Brand is a Dublin-based band known for their rich, layered sound and collaborative spirit, drawing from a diverse background of well-known Irish acts. The group features members Dylan Phillips (Pet Lamb), Stephen Ryan (The Stars Of Heaven and The Revenants), Gavin Ward (Jackbeast), and David Lacey (Three Ring Psychosis, Legion Of Two, The Jackson 5), each adding a different instrumental flavor—sometimes in harmony, other times in playful discord. Their music is influenced by a wide range of artists, including The Byrds, Lee Dorsey, The Replacements, Little Feat, Go-Betweens, Neu, Big Star, and Michael Hurley.

Since forming, The Dinah Brand has released several albums like *Pale Monkey Blues* (2002), *I Can Walk Through* (2010), and *Thank You Driver* (2019), each offering a blend of electric guitar tones, mid-tempo rhythms, and lyrics that explore personal intimacies and universal anxieties with a mood of both melancholy and warm wit. Reviews often highlight their ability to weave together nods to classic psychedelia and Americana, resulting in a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
