Irish R'n'B band The Strypes have released their debut album on Virgin/EMI and its a wee belter. From the opener "Mystery Man" to the finale "Rollin' & Tumblin''" (or "I Can Tell" on the deluxe version) its R'n'B the way it should be - gritty, raucous and brilliantly executed. Sometimes poppy ("Blue Collar Jane", "You Can't Judge A Book...", sometimes punky (What A Shame") and sometimes just down 'n' dirty ("Angel Eyes, "I Can Tell"), the originals bolstered by a handful of covers including Lieber and Stoller's R'n'B staple "I'm A Hog For You Baby", Nick Lowe's "Heart Of The City, Bo Diddley's "I Can Tell" and "You Can't Tell A Book By Its Cover".
Produced by Chris Thompson of "Never Mind The Bo**ocks..." fame, its a fine debut that'll have you tapping you toes and the steering wheel. They play Belfast tomorrow night (September 18th) and I can hardly wait. They've come a long way since their first Belfast show in January 2012.
