The Crane Lane Theatre

Cork in the 1980’s was awash with the voices of a disaffected generation who were unwilling to sit idly by as they watched the city they loved crumble around them. Amongst these voices were Cypress, Mine! who made a splash with their jangly guitar pop, introspective lyrics and standout live performances. With a cult following and an LP (Exit Trashtown) that remains a collectors item Cypress, Mine! are about to release a brand new single ‘Spellbinding’, out November 5, 2025, off their forthcoming new album.

The band formed in 1984 by Ian Olney (guitar), Ciarán Ó Tuama (vocals), Mark Healy (drums) and Denis O’Mullane (bass) the current iteration of Cypress, Mine! has Mark Healy switching to bass while Morty McCarthy of The Sultans of Ping takes over drumming duties.Influenced in those days by Orange Juice, The Smiths, REM, and Hüsker Dü they performed alongside U2, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Aztec Camera before disbanding in 1989. Their 1987 debut Exit Trashtown received critical acclaim, producing national radio favourites ‘Justine’ and ‘Sugar Beet God’.After the breakup, Ian Olney became a member of Dublin rock band Power of Dreams.A subsequent successful re-issue in 2017 of Exit Trashtown on Spanish label Pretty Olivia Records re-ignited an interest in Cypress, Mine!Since then, Cypress, Mine! have been quietly reconnecting, writing and recording new music. The band’s sound remains unmistakably theirs - expect shimmering guitars, passionate vocals, and songs that still feel like your favourite mixtape from 1986.Cypress, Mine! now bring with them the experience of getting older, wiser and this is reflected in both the music and lyrical direction the band have chosen. Cypress, Mine! release new music with single ‘Spellbinding’ the first single off a soon to be released new album.The weather may be dreary in November but the band’s new music brings its own kind of sunny magic to your day.
