The Blizzards were an Irish band from Mullingar in County Westmeath. They were formed by Niall Breslin and Killian Egan (vocals) in late 2004, and also feature Dec Murphy (drums), Justin Ryan, Anthony Doran (bass) and Aidan Lynch (keyboards). They have achieved multiple platinum record sales and have won numerous awards.
Their debut single, the self-released "First Girl to Leave Town", entered the Irish Singles Chart at number 11 in 2005. The band were then signed to Universal Music Ireland, and soon had two top ten singles in Ireland with "Trouble" and "Fantasy". Their debut album, A Public Display of Affection, was released in October 2006. The album achieved platinum status in Ireland, with sales of 15,000.
The band's second album Domino Effect was released in 2008. The band entered the Irish Singles Chart at number two and spawned four singles, the top three track "Trust Me, I'm A Doctor" plus "The Reason", "Postcards" and "Buy It Sell It". In 2009, they signed a UK record deal with Island Records which would see the release of Domino Effect there.
Domino Effect is the second studio album from The Blizzards, released on 12 September 2008. The band is currently playing shops around Ireland to promote the release. The video for "Trust Me, I'm A Doctor", the first single from the album is currently on rotation on Bubble Hits. A second single, "The Reason" was released in November 2008. The third single, "Postcards", was released on 27 February 2009.
Album information
The second track to be released from the album was "The Reason", receiving nationwide success like its predecessor, "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor". The third single, "Postcards" was released on 27 February 2009 and is a slower, different style to the Blizzards' usual music.
A digital booklet containing the lyrics of songs on the album as well as personal messages from the band members came with "Domino Effect (E-Deluxe Version)" on iTunes.
Another track on the album, "Money Doesn't Buy You Class", is about southside Dublin girls of the type "You'd see at UCD", when The Blizzards vocalist Niall Breslin studied there. He thought they were "So full of themselves, so superficial, so obsessed with money. Many had absolutely nothing of interest to say for themselves".
A domino effect or chain reaction is the cumulative effect produced when one event sets off a chain of similar events. The term is best known as a mechanical effect, and is used as an analogy to a falling row of dominoes. It typically refers to a linked sequence of events where the time between successive events is relatively small. It can be used literally (an observed series of actual collisions) or metaphorically (causal linkages within systems such as global finance or politics).
