Cyclefly were an alternative rock band from Ireland. The band had a cult underground following across the UK, Ireland and the US, and was famous amongst fans for lead singer Declan O'Shea's wild on-stage persona and intense live presence. He was often known to climb to the top of lighting rigs and jump into the crowd. Their work is also recognizable from the high-pitched, almost synthesized-sounding voice of O'Shea. The band toured the UK and Ireland many times in their career, including headline tours and support tours with Bush and Live. Two full-length albums were released over Cyclefly's career, Generation Sap in 1999, and Crave in 2002, as well as the now extremely rare and hard to find Dogabone EP and various singles. The second album, Crave featured a guest vocal spot on "Karma Killer" from Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. After their last album, Crave, the band disassembled. Declan and brother Ciaran O'Shea formed a new group, Hueman in 2004; replacing members Nono Presta and Jean-Mi Cavallo with Aiden Lee and Kieran O'Neill. However, Hueman broke up. Declan O'Shea and Christian Montagne have now formed a new band together named Mako and will be releasing a new album.
