Soda Blonde are an Irish alternative pop band from Dublin, Ireland, formed in 2019. The group consists of singer and songwriter Faye O’Rourke, guitarist and visual artist Adam O’Regan, bassist Donagh Seaver O’Leary, and drummer Dylan Lynch. All four members were previously part of the critically acclaimed indie band Little Green Cars before forming Soda Blonde following its disbandment.
Soda Blonde released their second studio album, “Dream Big“, in September 2023 through their independent label, Overbite Records. Written, produced, and mixed by the band themselves, the album marked a creative evolution for the group, showcasing a bolder and more expansive sonic palette than their debut. It incorporated elements of art-pop, rock, and folk, while retaining the emotionally charged lyricism and meticulous arrangements for which the band had become known
“Dream Big” explored ambition, disillusionment, and the psychological fallout of contemporary life. In interviews, the band described it as “a mature awakening to the world at large,” reflecting on systemic pressures and personal limitations in the pursuit of meaning and success. Songs like “Bad Machine” addressed cycles of self-sabotage and conformity, while “Midnight Show” and “Why Die for Danzig” delved into themes of media saturation, performativity, and existential dread.
“Dream Big” cemented Soda Blonde’s position as one of Ireland’s most innovative and self-sufficient indie bands.
