This mighty rock and roll band from Cavan, Ireland formed in 2010. The Strypes are Ross Farrelly (Main voice and harmonica), Josh McClorey (Guitar and choirs), Pete O’Hanlon (Bass and harmonica) and Evan Walsh ( Battery). Explosive talent and a special energy marked the release of their first album when they were only 16 years old. The Strypes style is replete with references to the blues explosion in the 60’s and the pub rock bands of the 70’s like Dr. Feelgood, The Rolling Stones or The Yardbirds along with the sound of blues and rock and roll artists like Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley or Howlin ‘Wolf.

Touted as the new miracle of rock & roll, their music is mature, brazen and cohesive on stage. Strings to their bow include being support act to the Arctic Monkeys in 2013 and having won over fans like Noel Gallagher, Dave Grohl, Miles Kane and Paul Weller.

The band will be presenting their third album Spitting Image after four years spinning tirelessly. In this work, the band wants to remind us that they are capable of writing good songs, beyond their adrenaline rock & roll roots. They are now already twenty years old and their sound has changed again. It is a simple sound, direct, but no less sophisticated.
