“Young Believers” passes 100,000 on Spotify
YOUNG BELIEVERS has passed 100,000 streams on Spotify some time today, becoming our fourth song to pass that mark after “George Best City”, “Four Winds” and “Diamond and the Missing Son”. We’re really happy that “Young Believers” has been taken to heart by a lot of you. It wasn’t on an album when we stuck it out on April 8th, 2018, but would later be on the First Ten (2012-2022) Compilation.
Festival Season for T-Shirts Incoming?
If like Azra below, you have the desire for an Unquiet Nights T-Shirt of the female variety, you’ll find it at this link. There’s a bit on the checkout page where you can write a note, and people have been known to ask specific requests in there. We see what we can do. Spring weather coming for T-Shirts and festival season, right?
Four Oh
Great food at @airrestaurant as usual on the old birthday week. This would be the big Four-Oh. Kind of bizarre to mostly be referred to as a young, emerging band when myself and Rodger have been having songs on the radio for 23 years. UN being 16 of those. Happy birthday to @aliciakeys and me for another year. We share the same birthday which is cool. I’ve loved her stuff since buying “The Diary of Alicia Keys” in the old Virgin Megastore in Belfast in 2003.
Sky Sports 1 (Milan) Ten Years Ago. (21.07.2015)
Ten years ago today we appeared on Sky Sport 1, on Calciomercato w/ Alessandro Bonan. Not the easiest commute we ever made, but all in a day’s work for an independent band. We had to change vehicles several times on the way there as you’ll see in the video reel below. Totally worth it though.

RIP Les Binks (1951-2025)
RIP Les Binks (08.08.1951 – 15.03.2025) Judas Priest drummer Les Binks was a long time supporter of ours. Apart from doing many great things in music, he was a very entertaining person to discuss the music business with. He last e-mailed me in April 2024 to wish us good luck with our “Seasons In Exile” … Continue reading

Single – “Everything Seductive”
“Everything Seductive” is a single we decided to put out on 24th January, 2025. The B-Side is called “Straight To The Ground”.

Chordblossom – Track by Track
“…Unquiet Nights have been around longer than us which is saying something. Their debut album 21st Century Redemption Songs appeared a month before Chordblossom debuted back in 2012.
Fast forward twelve years to the present day and they are back with their third full length record, Seasons In Exile. It was recorded at Credential Sound, with additional recording at Manor Park Studio before being mixed & mastered by Neal Calderwood.
Luke Mathers took some time out of his busy schedule to give us a run through of each track on the record…”
