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.

Eclectic Music Lover (Review) – “In Spite Of It All”
“…Now Unquiet Nights are back with a new single “In Spite of It All“, which they’ve released in conjunction with their third album First Ten (2012-2022).

The Big List: Q&A With: Unquiet Nights
This month we meet Unquiet Nights to hear about their comeback singles and much more.
Eclectic Music Lover (Review) – “Promise of You”
“…PROMISE OF YOU is the first single, and it’s a hard-rockin’ beauty! It starts off with a drawn-out electric guitar note, then an explosion of gritty guitars and fuzzy bass rain down, propelled by a crushing drumbeat that really gets the blood pumping. The track grows more intense as dramatic synths and layers of jangly and shredded guitars are added, building to a pulse-pounding crescendo. The instrumentals are phenomenal…”
VIDEO – “Don’t Wanna Kill For Religion”
Our video for “Don’t Wanna Kill For Religion” is out today. We recorded it on the roof of The Europa Hotel in Belfast in August 2014. Thanks to Maverick Renegade, Help Musicians UK, Michael Hanvey and The Europa for helping us get it done. The second album “Postcards In Real Time” is here.

Apr 2015 – Blackstar Amps, Manor Park Studios, Der ungezähmte Fußballer…
April was another busy month, to go with 2015 in general. There were some recording sessions in Northern Ireland, then back to Italy. An amp endorsement, German literature, new interviews and some upcoming things that’ll happen during May. So, to recap in roughly chronological order….

Starting with… » SINGLE: “CONSTELLATIONS … Continue reading
