Irish rock duo Dea Matrona have today released their highly-anticipated debut album For Your Sins.

Pushing the boundaries of genre in an authentic yet nostalgic way, the record bestows a passion project that sound bridges an intoxicating blend of indie pop and rock with superb sophistication.

From the thumping and growling 'So Damn Dangerous' to the whimsical pop wonder 'Every Night I Want You,' the low strums of 'Black Rain' to the country swing of 'Won't Feel Like This Forever,' it delivers a slice of everything.

A self-made labour of love, For Your Sins was written, recorded and produced by Dea Matrona - Mollie McGinn and Orlaith Forsythe. The art of the debut is usually to define the artist’s voice and find their calling, however the sheer beauty of Dea Matrona’s work is to never stick to one thing, follow one convention or tow one path. It is an album about treading the line of self-discovery, to push boundaries and to never stick to structures and formalities.

Dea Matrona comprises two school friends, Mollie McGinn and Orlaith Forsythe, who grew up busking to their favourite rock ‘n’ roll anthems on the streets of Belfast. Covering the likes of Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well’ and Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘Homeward Bound’, they have reached an online community of 500,000 followers and racked up over 8 million views on YouTube.

With their hard hitting riffs and musical intensity they have established a rare, sensational sound – gritty and real but loaded with melody and style; all of which are on top-shelf display on their debut album For Your Sins. 

For Your Sins is available to buy on a variety of vinyl, CD and cassette formats here.

Dea Matrona will celebrate the release of their debut album with a string of Irish tour dates, which kicks off in Cork and closes with a hometown show in Belfast. See below for the full list of tour dates:
