Greywind are an emo rock duo from Killarney in Ireland formed by siblings Steph and Paul O'Sullivan. In 2023 Greywind had multiple songs go viral online with their song 'In Autumn' reaching over 11 million views on social media. They are one of the most followed bands in Ireland with over 150,000 followers on Instagram and over 100,000 on TikTok. Now Ireland’s alternative emo darlings Greywind are finally back with new music - and a story to tell. The Killarney-based brother and sister duo of Steph and Paul O’Sullivan have experienced a lot in their career. The bands formative years saw the two struggling to navigate the juxtaposition of some remarkable highs and traumatic lows. Heroic praise of their sets at Reading & Leeds and Download Festival were often drowned out by unreasonable expectations of those around them. Even renowned radio DJ Zane Lowe (BBC, Apple Music) referring to Greywind as “A moment you won’t forget if you’re a fan of rock music” didn’t seem to quench the thirst of the short-sightedness surrounding them at the time. Then, when confronted by the isolation of a global pandemic, Greywind found themselves struggling mentally & emotionally to decide on the best path forward. As a result, they swore they wouldn’t put out another note of new music until they had the rights to their major-label-released debut album 'Afterthoughts' back. Now, after a lengthy struggle, and a 2023 viral surge that saw multiple songs off ‘Afterthoughts’ reaching millions of new fans globally, they’re more than ready to usher in a new era of their career with a brand new single called "Antidote." Jointly produced by Sam Guaiana (Neck Deep, Silverstein) & The Wonder Years' guitarist Casey Cavaliere, "Antidote" is a song fueled by the visceral whirlwind of emotions experienced by Steph and Paul in the first phase of their career.
