'Back when we started none of that was really there – you had MySpace and Bebo, you weren’t really getting discovered off that.”

Kodaline first formed in 2006, and during those 16 years they made history with the first independently released song to reach number one on the Irish charts, topped the charts several times since and earned a global fan base thanks to their music being featured in Hollywood productions like Grey’s Anatomy and The Fault In Our Stars.

He confessed to The Sun; “Everybody was buying copies of the CD or vinyl in HMV or in Golden Discs or Tower Records.” But even with these modern luxuries, the drummer still believes it is tricky to get discovered these days as well. “Trying to carve out a little section in the whole entire world, it’s ridiculous. There are so many acts that are constantly trying to break through and so many that just don’t make it and fall by the wayside.”As for how the band eventually found so much success, Vincent credits getting signed to a UK record label early on as a big factor.
