Anthemic rockers The Coronas have just release their new album, Thoughts & Observations, and the band’s singer, Danny O’Reilly, is negotiating a familiar swirl of emotions. Excitement, jitters – and an anxious curiosity as to how fans will receive the material.

“You always have that moment before it comes out where you’re like, ‘oh…how is this going to go down?’,” the chatty and amiable frontman says over Zoom from his home in Dublin. “Especially in an industry where the landscape is constantly changing and it’s hard to know what will work with TikTok and streaming and everything. I still think the band has something to offer and something to say. It’s hard to know if people want to hear it. But it’s been getting a great reaction so far. The main thing is that we’re proud if it.”
