About Shadowplay
Shadowplay was formed in 2010 by three music students in their final year of college in the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. They have released two singles digitally in Ireland and are preparing for the release of their debut album in 2013.

History
After performing throughout January 2011 Shadowplay was selected as the Ski Trip Band for Today FM's trip to Bad Hofgastein, Austria with Topflight Holidays, where they performed their first single 'Words' on Ian Dempsey's Breakfast show on Today FM. In Summer 2011 they completed a five-date tour with former Toto frontman Bobby Kimball which included a sell out performance to over 6,000 at the Buncrana Music Festival. In late 2011, Shadowplay entered and won the Summit Bandslam competition, receiving four days in Phonic Studios with Conor Brady as part the prize. In February 2012, Shadowplay won the Hot Press Lift Off @ The Music Show competition, beating over 800 other bands from Ireland.

Shadowplay's latest single, Drive, was released on March 10, 2012 with two launches in The Academy (music venue).
