Nothing Lasts forever

Suddyn




Nothing Lasts Forever



Angela Macari O’Looney



Suddyn are Alan Steil-Vocals/Piano/Synths, Jarrett Steil-Guitar/Vocals/Bass and Brendan Conolly-Drums/Backing Vocals.



Hailing from Dublin, Clonmel and Montauk, this band honed their sound while touring Ireland in 06/07. Originating in New York, brothers Alan and Jarrett developed their Piano driven Electro-Rock sound, writing and performing fabulous anthems that haunt, or throbbing rock songs that blow you away!



Alan at the helm, with his distinctive voice and boyish features, is the heart and soul of the band, while Jarrett is a first class guitarist with an amazing imagination for riffs and mind blowing solos.

Brendan has the job of holding things together, with those passionate bashing anthemic drumbeats. The result is a perfect blend of enthusiastic, memorable music and it has a pied piper effect on Suddyn’s ever growing fan base.



This number is fast moving, with the intro choppy. Chords are dramatic and like Alan’s vocals have a sense of urgency One of these days I’ll wash up on your shore. One of these nights I’ll stumble through your door.. The opening verse has a mysterious quality and then things build up to the explosive chorus, with superb guitar riffs, plucky rhythmic notes and piano galore. Bass line throughout is busy and pulsating.



Backing vocals are excellent, filtering through in spates until the middle eight, when the pace slows down and harmony is sung close in the refrainI never would fall, I never would say that you want more. The beat alternates quite a few times, adding interest to this song.

Alan’s wonderful input on keys is also a constant in this track, with big chords and well placed notation.



This thoroughly enjoyable song joins the anthology of delicious music these lads have produced to date. These include their first big hit Gravity and others such as Letting Go, Brightest Star, Holding up the Backdrop.



It’s said that there are elements of every style of Rock prevalent in Suddyn’s music, from U2 to Radiohead. However, the last few years have seen the band prove extremely successful across the U.S. Their gain is our loss!



There’s never a shortage of their video or audio material available online. And I recommend watching the video of this song if you need a laugh!

It’s a bit of Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean), a slice of The Mummy and a helping of Al Capone thrown in for pure ‘divilment’. But this doesn’t distract from the song itself, which has the Hallmark of one of the best Rock bands around!
