Buzz Track: This is Your Time

Formed in late 2012, White Male Actors, the 3 piece outfit hailing from Strabane in the North West of Ireland quickly made a name for themselves by the quality of the material that they were posting online and then by following up this positive reaction with storming renditions of said material during their debut shows. Sonically, the band is inspired by the likes of R.E.M., Bruce Springsteen, Kings Of Leon and U2. Having signed a deal with up and coming Irish independent label ‘Broken MelodyRecords’ in December 2013 the band have recently finished up recording their debut EP and while putting the finishing touches to it they still managed to find time to headline a show at the prestigious Sound City festival in Liverpool, England. The band is currently making plans to work with famed British producer Gavin Monaghan (Editors, Ryan Adams, Kings Of Leon, Robert Plant) in the coming months on some brand new tracks. Their debut EP ‘Ghosts’ will be released in the autumn of 2014 through Broken Melody Records.
