The Thrills are an Irish indie/pop band, formed in 2001 in Dublin. The band is made up of lead vocalist Conor Deasy, guitarist Daniel Ryan, bass player Padraic McMahon, pianist Kevin Horan and drummer Ben Carrigan. Their big break came with their debut album So Much for the City which became an Irish number one. The four members spent a month on vacation in San Diego where they wrote several of the tracks for the album including several classic remakes such as One Horse Town. The bands second album, Let's Bottle Bohemia, is currently enjoying similer success to the band's debut, largely on the back of the popular single Whatever Happened to Corey Haim?. The band often cites Neil Young, the Beach Boys and The Monkees as its main inspirations. The band took part in the Band Aid 20 charity assemble in 2004.
