Kodaline are a Dublin-based Irish alternative rock quartet. Originally known as 21 Demands, the band made chart history in March 2007, when their debut single "Give Me A Minute" topped the Irish Singles Chart; becoming the first independently released track to achieve the feat. In 2011 the band changed its name to Kodaline.

The quartet released their debut extended play—The Kodaline EP—in September 2012. One of four tracks featured on the EP, "All I Want", received significant acclaim; having been selected as BBC Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton's Record of the Week, featured in the season 9 episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Remember the Time" and as the background music for Google's 2012: Year In Review video. On 9 December 2012, the BBC announced that Kodaline had been nominated for the Sound of 2013 poll.
