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…”

Hot Press – “Diamond and the Missing Son” (Single)
Swinging into force in 2024 with Americana/rock songwriting, Unquiet Nights have today dropped their new album ‘Seasons in Exile’, one of the highlights of which is their new track ‘Diamond and the Missing Son’ which will delight fans of the likes of Rick Springfield and Deep Blue Something. With crystal clear vocals and scratchy guitar, the track will have you nostalgic for a time you never experienced- evoking images of big American cars, blistering hot summers and denim cut offs. Unquiet Nights hope their new single won’t just do well in the digisphere, but that people will buy physical copies: ‘‘We hope it will do millions of streams, but even more we hope some people will still want to buy it!”. And with tracks like ‘Diamond and the Missing Son’ why wouldn’t you?
Belfast Telegraph – Northern Exposure (“Seasons in Exile”)
Comeback kids Unquiet Nights are promising plenty of noise this year.
Loved by Sky Sports and BBC Radio One and lauded by the likes of Hot Press magazine, these Belfast and Italy-based rockers have just released their first new material in nearly two years in the form of single “Diamond And The Missing Son” and the hook-laden gem was worth the wait.
On January 19th, they unveil their third album “Seasons In Exile” and we’ve had an advance listen and can confirm it’s brimming with belters that fans of Genesis and Tom Petty will love. Listen to: “Diamond And The Missing Son”.
Gerry Kelly Show
Major agreement with legendary talk show hosts going on over at @unquietnights Twitter about how musicians are supposed to get exposure at the minute. I wonder if Mr. Kelly preferred interviewing us, or Roger Moore though? (Rhetorical…) #newmusic #interview #single #northernireland
Studio Update – “Diamond and the Missing Son”
This was the night we finished “Diamond and the Missing Son” (1st Dec, 2022). Seems worth reposting because it’s been out for nearly a year now and has 84,380 Spotify streams as of 12.12.2024. If I had known I would’ve smiled in the photo. Promise.
