Fresh rock-‘n-roll quartet confirms with ‘Little Victories’

"De platencollectie van hun grootouders geplunderd en op het podium met de branie van de jonge Animals of Yardbirds. Hun ‘back to basics’-rock had zoveel punch dat we al na drie nummers in de touwen hingen.” (FOCUS KNACK) and “The Strypes overtuigen met snelle Britpop met puisten op Pukkelpop” (HET NIEUWSBLAD)

The four Irish spring chickens from The Strypes certainly managed to convince national criticasters at Rock Werchter ’14 with their fresh mix of pop, blues and garage-rock. That's where they presented their debut ‘Snapshot’ (from 2013), which contained the persistent earworm ‘Blue Collar Jane’ that was played to death for quite a while on many a Belgian radio station. On 24 July 2015, the edgy quartet will put out second longplayer ‘Little Victories’ and, according to the press release, aside from usual suspects like The Stones, The Jam and Arctic Monkeys there are influences of Elvis Costello, George Clinton and Nick Lowe seeping through in abundance on the new songs.

The newly released songs ‘Now She’s Gone’ and ‘Get Into It’ (also the new single to be played plentifully on the turntables of Stubru) certainly do more than have us hoping for the best. “Get ready to meet the real Strypes!”
