History

Butterfly Explosion was formed by guitarist/vocalist Gazz Carr in 2005.

By 2007, the band had released two EPs while going through a number of line up changes. John Coman (drums), Conor Garry (bass) and Laura Smyth (vocals) joined the band in 2008 as recording began on the debut album with producer Torsten Kinsella of Irish post-rock band God Is an Astronaut. [1]

The debut album 'Lost Trails' was released in 2010 on the Revive Records label. The album was released in the United States in March 2010 ahead of their appearance at the SXSW festival and broke into the CMJ 200 charts having entered the Top 30 of 35 college radio stations. [2] [3]

In May 2010, they performed at the Soundcity Festival in Liverpool and supported label mates God Is An Astronaut on their UK and European tours.[4] The band also performed at the Electric Picnic and Arthur's Day Festivals in Ireland in September 2010. [5]
