    Dublin rock band Mola hold a launch for their debut album “One Year in the Asylum” in the Academy 2 venue on Middle Abbey Street on Friday 18th March 2011. Tickets are 8 Euro, available from ticketmaster or the Academy box office.

    The album was produced by Liam Mulvaney (Mundy, The Radio, Cathy Davey) and Jimmy Eadie (Jape, RSAG, Fionn Regan). The band had to delay the initial tracking for the album after their studio time was commandeered by the mighty Bob Dylan. The album was recorded in Westland Studios Dublin, famous for its work with legends such as the Clancy brothers and Van Morrison, with later tracking at Asylum Studios. The album was mastered by Aidan Foley at Masterlabs and released online through the band’s own label in 2009. The band are now holding a self-financed physical release of the album in March 2011 with the album confirmed as being stocked in Tower Records and independent retailers.

    The album features a stunning cover, an original commissioned art-nouveau, psychedelic artwork by renowned painter/designer Bob Masse, whose previous credits range from Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan to modern artists such as Tool.

    Mola are a Hard Rock band, formed in Dublin, Ireland in August 2005. The bands main influences include Led Zepplin, the Who, the Doors, Free, the Stooges and Big Star. However, the band are not tied to these influences and while they tend to naturally groove towards classic rock elements, they purposefully push their sound in the direction of the modern music era. This leads to a new interpretation of old sounds, a classic rock band for the new age, if you will. This sound is further enhanced by the devotion to fine songwriting standards evinced by the past icons that Mola aspire to.

    “The mission is to drag the passion and feeling that existed in the rock movement of the late 60s and early 70s, into the modern world. This is not a trend, there are no creative restrictions. This is about great songs performed by great musicians with all the passion in the world.”
