God Is An Astronaut were formed in 2002 by brothers Niels and Torsten in Wicklow, Ireland. The band released their debut album The End of the Beginning on their own label Revive Records in March 2003. The worldwide release of the A Moment of Stillness EP and their second album All Is Violent All is Bright on UK label Rocket Girl, the band finally see a proper release outside of Ireland. Their music and videos have received extensive play worldwide and at home, including major radio/TV shows (MTV - The Comedown, MTV2 - 120 Minute Show, TV3 - Law and Order, film ads; RTE - Fair City; Sky - ads for films and sports events) and countless online internet radio shows. Specifically in the UK, they have been played on BBC 6, XFM and Resonance FM. The title track from the EP, released as a single has already spent three weeks in the Irish top 40. Both CDs trademark God Is An Astronaut is extraordinary energy, emotion and tension, building from serene ambience to searing intensity. Torsten and Niels are joined on these recordings by drummer Lloyd Hanney (who was trained by the late jazz legend Johnny Wadham), making this album a much closer representation of their live sound. They are considered by many to be the most intense live act to emerge from Ireland in recent times.
