The Script: A Rock Band Story

The Script, hailing from Dublin, Ireland, burst onto the scene in 2001. This Irish rock quartet has consistently delivered catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics that have captured the hearts of fans worldwide.

The current lineup features Danny O'Donoghue (lead vocals, guitar, piano, and keyboards), Glen Power (drums, percussion, and backing vocals), Benjamin Sargent (bass and backing vocals), and Ben Weaver (guitar). Sadly, the band lost a cherished member, Mark Sheehan (guitar and vocals), in 2023.

After signing with Phonogenic, a Sony Label Group imprint, The Script relocated to London. Their debut album, aptly titled The Script, dropped in August 2008, propelled by the powerful single "We Cry." Hits like "The Man Who Can't Be Moved," "Breakeven," and "Before the Worst" followed, cementing their place in the music world. The album stormed the charts, reaching number one in both Ireland and the UK.

The Script's success continued with their next three albums: Science & Faith (2010), #3 (2012), and No Sound Without Silence (2014). All three topped the charts in their native Ireland and the UK, while Science & Faith also soared to number two in Australia and number three in the United States. These albums spawned further chart-topping singles like "For the First Time," "Nothing," "Hall of Fame," and "Superheroes."

Their fifth studio album, Freedom Child, hit the shelves in September 2017, featuring the UK Top 20 single "Rain." Sunsets & Full Moons, their sixth studio album, arrived in November 2019, with the single "The Last Time" leading the charge. In October 2021, The Script celebrated their achievements with a Greatest Hits album.

The Script's music has permeated popular culture, finding its way into television shows like 90210, Ghost Whisperer, The Hills, Waterloo Road, EastEnders, Made in Chelsea, and The Vampire Diaries. The band's ability to connect with audiences through their emotive songs and dynamic performances has solidified their status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock music.
