The All Clear, an exciting new band emerging from Belfast, is ready to debut with their album Harbour Songs. Formed in 2023 and fronted by Joe O’Sullivan, a seasoned musician and consultant oncologist, the band delivers a sound that blends personal reflection with professional experience. As their first release, Harbour Songs promises to capture the hearts of indie music fans with its authentic storytelling and captivating melodies.
Led by Joe O’Sullivan, The All Clear isn’t your typical indie band. Joe, who has spent over two decades specializing in prostate cancer treatment, brings a unique perspective to the music scene. His life as both a healer and an artist informs the band’s music, which is as much about the triumphs and tragedies of life as it is about the beauty found in everyday moments. The band’s name, The All Clear, symbolizes the life-changing news that cancer patients long to hear, adding an emotional layer to their music and ethos.
With Joe O’Sullivan on vocals and guitar, Joe Craig on bass guitar, Ali Donnelly on drums, and Joe’s son Oisín O’Sullivan on backing vocals, The All Clear brings together a powerhouse lineup.
Harbour Songs, recorded at the renowned Start Together Studios in Belfast, is a deeply personal and evocative album. Engineered and produced by acclaimed producer Rocky O’Reilly, the album draws on Joe O’Sullivan’s experiences of personal transformation. Written during a period marked by the end of a marriage and the beginning of a new relationship, the album reflects the emotional ups and downs of life, love, and healing. Living in the Harbour area of Belfast during this time, Joe found solace and inspiration in his surroundings, which is evident in the album’s atmospheric sound and reflective lyrics.
The title, Harbour Songs, symbolizes a safe space where life’s storms are navigated and emotional resilience is built. The tracks explore themes of vulnerability, love, and personal growth, creating a cohesive narrative that invites listeners into Joe’s world.
