Wyvern Lingo

& Special Guests

Wyvern​ ​Lingo​ ​have​ ​always​ ​been​ ​friends​ ​first,​ ​band​ ​second.
Junior​ ​school​ ​alliances​ ​built​ ​to​ ​withstand​ ​the​ ​torments​ ​of​ ​puberty​ ​and​ ​teenage​ ​rites​ ​of​ ​passage​ ​- first​ ​kisses,​ ​first​ ​hangovers​ ​and​ ​trips​ ​good​ ​and​ ​bad.​ ​Dodgy​ ​gaffs​ ​and​ ​even​ ​dodgier​ ​boyfriends and​ ​girlfriends.​ ​Young​ ​hearts​ ​but​ ​witchy​ ​old​ ​souls​ ​with​ ​a​ ​private​ ​language​ ​-​ ​the​ ​wyvern​ ​lingo.
Music​ ​is​ ​the​ ​glue​ ​that​ ​helped​ ​Wyvern​ ​Lingo​ ​stick​ ​together.​ ​Originally​ ​bonding​ ​over hand-me-down​ ​albums​ ​by​ ​Thin​ ​Lizzy,​ ​Led​ ​Zeppelin,​ ​Joni​ ​Mitchell​ ​and​ ​Simon​ ​&​ ​Garfunkel;​ ​then starting​ ​their​ ​own​ ​thread​ ​of​ ​music,​ ​which​ ​stitches​ ​together​ ​a​ ​rough​ ​but​ ​resilient​ ​tapestry​ ​of influences,​ ​taking​ ​in​ ​folk,​ ​hip-hop,​ ​rock​ ​and​ ​R’N’B,​ ​all​ ​united​ ​by​ ​the​ ​spectral​ ​chill​ ​triggered​ ​by their​ ​unique​ ​vocal​ ​harmonies.​ ​Writing​ ​together,​ ​sharing​ ​their​ ​hopes​ ​and​ ​fears​ ​in​ ​verses​ ​and choruses.
Now​ ​in​ ​their​ ​twenties,​ ​they​ ​have​ ​a​ ​confidence​ ​in​ ​how​ ​they​ ​write​ ​and​ ​in​ ​what​ ​they​ ​say,​ ​be​ ​it personal​ ​experience​ ​or​ ​a​ ​comment​ ​on​ ​society.​ ​Wyvern​ ​Lingo​ ​bring​ ​their​ ​stories​ ​together​ ​on​ ​their debut​ ​album,​ ​simply​ ​called​ ​​“Wyvern Lingo”.
​
The​ ​trio​ ​self-released​ ​their​ ​first​ ​EP​ ​-​ ​​“The Widow Knows” in​ ​2014,​ ​which​ ​brought​ ​them​ ​to​ ​the attention​ ​of​ ​Irish​ ​independent​ ​label​ ​Rubyworks.​ ​Extensive​ ​international​ ​touring​ ​followed​ ​with James​ ​Vincent​ ​McMorrow​ ​and​ ​fellow-Bray​ ​native​ ​Hozier,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​second​ ​EP​ ​-​ ​​“Letter
