Little Green Cars
Band Dublin Ireland Formed 2008 Dublin based band
Little Green Cars formed in 2008 in Dublin, Ireland. Little Green Cars has 20 chart appearances on 14 radio countdowns from 12 stations on RockLists, spanning 2013–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Harper Lee”, which appears on 10 lists with a best position of #22. The station that charted Little Green Cars most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 4 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2013.
Little Green Cars came out of Dublin in 2008 and signed to Island, and they made their stand with a single album, Absolute Zero, in 2013. It's a record that trades on hushed verses and swelling, shout-along climaxes, the kind of indie rock that sounds best in a crowded room with everybody joining in, and its songs found their way onto rock radio's countdowns: "Harper Lee", "The John Wayne" and the long, aching "My Love Took Me Down To The River To Silence Me".
The lineup was five strong: Stevie Appleby, Faye O'Rourke, Dylan Lynch, Donagh Seaver O'Leary and Adam O'Regan.
It didn't last. On 21 March 2019 they announced they were calling it a day. Four of them regrouped straight away as Soda Blonde, and Appleby went off on his own.
