Biography

Danny O'Donoghue and Mark Sheehan have been best friends since they were 12 growing up in Dublin. Sheehan and O'Donoghue were formerly part of a boyband called Mytown, which had formed in 1996. Striking up a songwriting and production partnership, they were invited to Canada to collaborate with some of their heroes, including Dallas Austin, Montell Jordan and Teddy Riley. They were in the US for a few years and got a record deal until the company dropped them.

They stayed in the Los Angeles and worked there as producers, writing and producing songs for performers including Britney Spears, Boyz II Men and TLC, but later moved back to Dublin, where they recruited drummer Glen Power for their new band The Script. Power learned to play drums when he was just eight and he had been playing sessions from the age of fifteen, using the money to work on a solo project in his home, but that went on hold when his collaboration with Sheehan and O'Donoghue produced three songs in one week. The band signed to Phonogenic in 2005, and released an EP on Last.FM. The band's influences include U2, Coldplay, The Police, The Neptunes, Timbaland, and Van Morrison.

All packages are marked in red : "Fragile Sticker" on one side and "Do Not Bend" on other both side.

I am happy to ship internationally, however I will not change the value of the record. There are many reasons for this. First, I enjoy selling records and do not want to jeopardize that. Second, I include a receipt with the order and if customs were to examine the package, they would see the difference. Third, if something were to happen to the item in shipping, I would refund the customers money, but then not be able to claim what was lost. Thanks you for understanding.
