The Script
The Script is an alternative rock band from Ireland made up of Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power who seem to specialize in break up and sanity slippage songs. Basically Irelands answer to Linkin Park, with more focus on rock than rap and messages. They have two albums so far, and various hits such as "Nothing", "Breakeven", "For the First Time", "Before the Worst", "If You Ever Come Back" and "Science & Faith".
