I'm afraid I'm going to have to eat my own words from my review of Jake Bugg and confess that sometimes great music coming from a young source can be entirely impressive. The Strypes are an up and coming rhythm and blues band from Cavan (Ireland) aged 14-16; up until now I would've thought it impossible for a group of school boys to exhude such style. Whilst most kids their age are sat at home playing computer games, these guys are out recording original material and undergoing their own UK tour.
A list of the band's tour dates is visible here.
If you're in London on the 29th March, I'd highly recommend getting a hold of tickets for their show at 229 - it's part of the Le Beat Bespoke Weekender so should be a good crowd in a nice intimate venue.
