Diveboy Releases New Song “Glory Days”
Irish indie-rock band Diveboy, consisting of Tony O'Donovan (vocals/guitar), Peter Piggott (lead guitar) and Cian Doherty (drums), released their brand new song “Glory Days” on September 26, 2025.
The song is the second single off of their upcoming third studio album, following “Suntrap” released back in July.
The track explores the idea of maintaining your youth as you age, by being open minded and accepting of change rather than through pretentiousness.
It was written by Cian Doherty, Peter Piggott, and Tony O'Donovan. Produced by Ruadhri Cushnan.
The band lead singer Tony O'Donovan said of the song, “It's easy to fall into the trap of being bitter as you get older, thinking that everything was better back in 'your day'. In our town, they shut the nightclub down during covid and everyone laments that there's nothing there for the young people of the town anymore, but the new generation will always have their own thing and I'm sure they couldn't care less about our exaggerated tales of a bygone era.”
He continued, “There was a prayer on the wall of my Grandmother's house that she cut out of the paper that said, 'God grant me the serenity to say less as I get older', so the sentiment of 'Glory Days' lies there.”- Back in March, the band changed their name from The Burma to Diveboy. The new album is their first release as Diveboy.
They recorded the album with producer Ruadhri Cushnan.
The band said of the album, “We've just finished recording our third studio album. As we move into an exciting new period for the band, we've decided to change our name. This is something we've considered for a while and now feels like the perfect time.” -
They continued, “When we sat down to write, we asked ourselves where we imagined playing. The answer was bigger rooms, arenas and stadiums! We wanted to create a sound that would fill the 3Arena or Wembley Stadium. Then Ruadhrí Cushnan brought a fresh approach and perspective to the way we recorded our songs and he was a joy to work with.”
