Ireland
The Strypes
ESNS: 2014
The main musical influences of this young Irish band range from early Beatles and Yardbirds to Dr Feelgood, Nick Lowe and even Bo Diddley. The band from Cavan takes its inspiration from the heydays of garage rock and rhythm & blues. Sound old fashion? Guess again. Pete, Josh, Evan and Ross play in one hell of an exciting band, as the NME rightfully noted. Rock n' roll doesn't get much better than this in 2014. Their debut album Snapshot is the first of the five they're signed to release with Mercury Records.
