About Noise Control

Noise Control have been causing a lot of consternation on the Irish music scene of late with a live show that has to be seen to be believed and a collection of songs merging the best of guitar rock and pumping techno. Comprising the musical talents of guitarists Kevin Whyms and Bobby McMahon, vocalist Mark K.I.D., drummer, Declan Herbert and bassist, El Byrne, Noise Control cross thumping beats with atmospheric guitars melodies to create orginal songs that pack an explosive live punch. Noise Control made an instantaneous impact on the music scene with a scintiallating performance supporting Mylo, Underworld and Basement Jaxx in Marley Park last summer. Then Noise Control were hand picked by The Prodigy from a long list of competing bands for the support on the Irish leg of their European tour, where the band caused mass hysteria among Prodigy's fans with three unforgettable performances in Dublin, Belfast and Cork. With innovative tunes like "Cities & Dreams", "Our Life" and "Take It", Noise Control merge the kind of relentlessly funky beats of The Chemical Brothers with the melodic guitar atmospherics of Radiohead to create their own exciting musical hybrid. Already packing a formidable collection of tunes, Noise Control are best enjoyed in a live setting when they infuse their songs with the kind of unstoppable energy currently making them one of the most exciting live acts in Dublin.
