History

The foursome (consisting of two brothers, a cousin and a next door neighbor) began playing together in their teens. After gaining attention in their home town of Dublin, Ireland, the boys went to Vicenza, Italy. The band became local favorites and toured Italy for the next two years, on a trip which was merely supposed to last for several months.

After catching the eye of an American manager they moved their operation to New York, USA, and landed a record deal with Uninhibited Records which resulted in their 2004 debut album, Lifesize (produced by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads).

Their next release, the five song EP Sleeping Dogs, came under the label Rock Ridge Music and was distributed digitally in late 2006. Their album, Fear & Desire, was released on March 6, 2007. The album featured the string section and a few of the brass section players of The Greenwich Village Orchestra on the tracks: "Overture", "Love Is...", "Overture Reprise", "For The Moment", and "Rope".

The band also held a release concert for the Fear and Desire album at Florence Gould Hall in New York City. The concert featured the Greenwich Village Orchestra playing songs that were featured on the album and also a very special rendition of MRNORTH's song "Let Me In".

In 2011, Mr North released the name of their album entitled Everything,which they performed at the Florence Gould Hall on September 16, 2011, with the support of an orchestra and choir.
