Eventstellar is an Irish rock band.

Known for their unrestrained rock melodies and introspective, deeply passionate and brutal lyricism. Playing rebellious music underpinned by a strong philosophy. Eventstellar’s music spans the spectrum of emotions from aggressive and intense to blissful and serene. Eventstellar blends elements of alternative rock, soft rock, post-rock, electronic, house, indie rock, dream pop, shoegaze and ambient pop to create a mesmerizing musical experience.

Formed in 2015 by Jesse Rómlarson in Dublin and Reykjavik, Eventstellar embarked on a cosmic journey, drawing inspiration from the influences of Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, Giorgio Moroder, M83 and U2. Their music, deeply rooted in the universe, space, and the enigmatic allure of alien civilizations, sets them apart with a unique genre they call “Transcendental Rock”. A fusion that takes listeners on a sonic odyssey through celestial soundscapes.

The band’s formation occurred during the recording of Eventstellar’s first demo at a Dublin audio studio in 2015, where Jesse Rómlárson crossed paths with Eoin Belfield a session bass player. While Jesse was recording the first layers of the song “Legacy”. Eoin, working as an audio engineer, offered to record the baseline for the song.

After finishing the session, Eoin introduced Nevan Lochlann, a drummer and his classmate at the University College Dublin. With the trio’s initial collaboration and Nevan adding beats to Eventstellar’s first songs, they completed the first demo single called “Early Sessions”.

Afterwards, they decided to perform several gigs together just for fun at a couple of pubs in Dublin, Ireland. With Nevan on drums, Eoin on the bass guitar and Jesse on the lead guitar and vocals. During this time, Jon Gilmour, a guitarist (no relation to David Gilmour), a friend of Nevan’s, joined the scene.

Jon listened to their live gigs and asked the newly-formed band to give him a chance to showcase his skills with some tunes. After several gigs as a quartet, Jon started contributing to the band, adding a captivating layer to Eventstellar’s guitar-driven sound and allowing Jesse to focus on vocals, rhythm guitar, and keyboards.

The band was formed and the members of Eventstellar each bring their unique backgrounds and inspirations to the band’s musical tapestry. Jesse Rómlarson, the founder, voice and songwriter, draws from mysterious origins and combines his passion for music to fuel Eventstellar’s creative force. Jon Gilmour, the lead guitar channels his influences inspired by the talented David Gilmour, to craft transcendent guitar solos that transport listeners to distant sonic realms.

Eoin Belfield, the bassman, providing a strong and precise rhythmic foundation, giving Eventstellar’s music its heartbeat. And finally Nevan Lochlann, on the drums, bringing his dynamic style and electronic drumming skills to infuse the band’s music with electrifying energy and a touch of otherworldly ambiance.

After several live performances, the band made the decision to return to the recording studio to record their first set of professional singles for commercial release. 
During this time, they met an Irish producer Matt Dublin and an Icelandic audio engineer Thor Linanne. Dublin, recognizing the band’s creative potential joined the production team, working alongside with Linnane.

With ethereal melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, Eventstellar embarked on the recording process and successfully released nine singles: “Eleutheria,” “Overlight,” “Clandestine,” “Techno Bowl,” “The Shadow Eye,” “School Tale,” “Fallen,” “Strangers,” and “The Endless Frontier.” These singles showcased the band’s artistic progress and further solidified their presence in the music scene.

Eventstellar continues to forge a path. Their achievements and highlights are already making waves. With over a million views on their YouTube channel, they have garnered a growing following. In 2015, the band established their own record label, Stormwind Music, to release their music independently. However, their potential caught the attention of Madelos Music, leading to a record deal that has further propelled their artistic journey.

Eventstellar is still in the early stages of their career, they have already garnered attention with their transcendental compositions. Although they are yet to establish their signature songs, tracks like “Strangers”, “Endless”, “Freedom,” “Do You Believe,”, “Island of Stars” and “Blue Horizon” have gained popularity among their growing fan base.
