The Crayon Set – Band-Bio type-thing....

Dublin-based, The Crayon Set was founded back in 2008 and has since morphed into an exciting, expansive 8-piece. They have a fresh sound which they describe as “indie-folk-pop” – there’s catchy pop melodies, lots of energy, lush, multi-part vocal harmonies and they employ a wide variety of instruments – trumpets, double bass, violins, harmoniums, oboes, flutes, banjos etc.
They self-released their debut single “I Wanted You” on the 24th September in 2012. It has received good airplay across many national Irish radio stations.

Their debut album will be self-released on 21st April. It was recorded in Leeders Farm Studios in the UK and was mixed at Rockfield Studios. It was co-produced by Nick Brine (Teenage Fanclub, Super Furry Animals). It's available from various records stores nationwide or it can be ordered or downloaded from -
