David Anthony

David Anthony is an Irish musician, singer & producer active Since 2017. As well as the frontperson and songwriter of Irish experimental band BODIES, they are a member of Indie-Punk outfit Melter & sometime member/songwriter in BLOOMS.

Throughout a dizzyingly busy 24 months during 2018/19, BODIES released their debut album, “DRENCH”, sold out The Grand Social, graced festival stages all over Ireland (Electric Picnic / Castlepalooza / Groove Festival and Fuinneamh among others), received national radio play, critical acclaim and countless radio & print interviews. BODIES were truly one of the up and coming acts in Ireland.

Then, due to breaking multiple bones as a result of a traffic accident while cycling as well as contracting a debilitating virus, David Anthony was forced to cancel all shows, tours, recording sessions & any future musical plans.

During the pandemic they began writing music to be performed alone and after receiving a grant in 2023 from the Arts Council they began recording a solo album to be recorded and mixed from David Prendergast (Overhead, The Albatross) & Jason Boland (Kodaline).

The album is almost completed and first single ‘Never Said’ is due out in summer 2024.
The album is planned for release in summer 2025 with 4 singles to be released before the album comes out in 2025. In Support of the album shows are planned throughout 2024 and 2025 all over Ireland as well as some UK & German shows planned for 2025
