PRESENTED BY PAULINE FREEMAN
Bipolar Empire Amidst the euphoric haze of Oxegen 2007, in a mud-laden field in Punchestown, three young Dublin musicians decided to band together and try their hands at forming a popular musical group, who might someday perform at similar prestigious events. All hailing from the Dublin suburb of Tallaght, supersonic warbler Shane O'Reilly was joined by horizontally laid back bassist Joe Leech and drumming dynamo Callum Mc Adam. And so it was to pass, Bipolar Empire was born. Joe and Callum had been playing together since they were fifteen years old, forming a covers band that were fiercely committed to the daily slaughter of Zeppelin and Queen. Shane had been displaying a penchant for singing and writing since, well, birth and had spent his teenage years in a plethora of school bands. Casting aside the work of others, Bipolar Empire began writing their own tunes and riffs. Having spent long days and even longer nights developing a sound all of their own, the trio decided it was time to take their music to a real live audience and they began to gig in and around Dublin. Their stylistic folk infused rock'n'roll, delivered with genuine raw passion and boundless energy, began to draw the attention of young music connoisseurs and as the live shows developed into a tighter, more intense experience, so the Bipolar Empire fanbase began to blossom.
