About A Little Bitter

Hailing from Coalisland, Co. Tyrone, A Little Bitter released their 2ND album New Dawn Evolution in 2009. The power trio, formed in 2004, comprises of:

  1. Jonny Armstrong Vocals/Guitar
  2. Darren Pilkington Drums/Vocals
  3. Seamy Donnelly Bass/Vocals

As with the bands previous output it was recorded at Manor Park studios with renowned producer Neal Calderwood (Therapy, Clutch, The Answer, Fighting With Wire, In Case Of Fire). New Dawn Evolution shows a marked growth in the overall band sound. It’s Heavier – Battlesong & Genghis, Progressive – Dark Tide and for the first time on record an acoustic element, Twist Her. All round New Dawn Evolution builds on the powerful foundation that the band laid with their debut album The Blood.

Influences range from AC/DC, Metallica, Rush, Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam merged with a singer/songwriter lyrical sensibility. The band creates music that can be enjoyed with Horns in the air and a beer in hand or with headphones on to pick up the finer intricacies. Jonny’s vocals have a power & fragility likened to Corey Taylor meets Adam Duritz with a Chris Cornell middle ground.

'New Dawn Evolution' the bands sophomore album was released on May 1st 2009.

The band released the album “Arrows” in 2018.
