The Coronas

The Best of the Early Days

£29.99

Released: 15th December 2023. The Best of The Early Days is a dozen tracks compiled from The Coronas' first three albums, all only now being released on vinyl, plus a special new song, closer 'One Last Time'. Four songs each come from their 2007 debut 'Heroes or Ghosts', their 2009 breakthrough 'Tony was an Ex-Con' (winner of Best Album at 2010's Meteor Awards, to which they beat U2 and Snow Patrol) and 2011's 'Closer to You', their first Irish chart-topper. Currently beloved for their cinematic, melancholic pop, The Coronas' ever-evolving sound is captured on 'The Best of the Early Years'. 'Far from Here' and 'Listen Dear' are spiky rockers. 'Someone Else's Hands' is an emotional grenade. Spine-tingling piano ballad 'Warm', the gorgeous, acoustic 'Heroes or Ghosts' and deftly-dancey opener 'Addicted to Progress' are all chapters in an extraordinary, near 20 year career.
