In a week of top class Irish videos, Rofi James stand out with this fabulous animated clip for new single 'Every Time I Make You Hate Me'.
Comprising of Ronan Flaherty, Jamie Murray, Joseph Flaherty and Dave Skelton, the Galway outfit have opened for such established acts as Picture This, Wild Youth and The Riptide Movement; appeared at Electric Picnic, Fever Pitch and Riverfest, which they co-headlined alongside Le Galaxie and Hermitage Green; and recently topped the Galway 2020 Capital of Culture Fire Festival Tour bill.
Mastered by Muse, Republic Of Loose and Divine Comedy man Fergal Davis, 'Every Time I Make You Hate Me' is billed as "a romantic indie pop song about hurting a loved one and the singer’s attempts to make amends." With its plaintive lyrics - "I always say I’ll change, I know I never do/ No matter what it takes/ I’ll make this up to you" - and big chorus, it certainly packs quite the emotional punch.
"Rofi James are a stadium act just waiting for a stadium," enthuses Galway 2020 Capital of Culture Musical Director, David Munro. "Within minutes of hearing their music you are singing Rofi James hooks like you’ve known them for years."
With 3.4 million impacts on Irish radio and 133,000 Spotify plays, you wouldn't bet against them frequenting some very large stages...
