Hometown Girls by The Strypes (2013)


I know, I know. These teenage Irish boys seem to be trying a bit too hard with the suits and the Ringo drumkit. Still, if you strip out the packaging clearly designed to bridge the generational gap, the music is pretty good. On many of their songs, you can clearly hear the influences of the Yardbirds and the Stones.

It will be interesting to see if their sound develops a la a lot of early sixties' bands, or if they continue in the current style. Here is there video off of their debut album, Meet the Strypes, I mean Snapshot.
