Songs were recorded and five gigs were played, the third of which was their first headlining show. The band quickly got to recording music, taking inspiration from guitar-oriented bands such as IDLES, Fontaines D.C., and their beloved favorite, Girl Band. After recording a demo, they passed it onto Just Mustard, earning Enola Gay their second ever gig as their opener on December 11, 2019. COVID-19 has slowed down plans for this fresh four-piece band, but there is a lot to look forward to in 2021.Įnola Gay established themselves in late 2019, following jam sessions between guitarist Joe McVeigh and singer Fionn Reilly.
With only a single and a remix released and six gigs under their belt, Belfast post-punk/noise rock band Enola Gay have demonstrated enough passion, intelligence, and virtuosity to create a thunderous music career.
