The Strypes – one of the most exciting young bands of the last couple of years, touring a new album which is Influenced as much by acts like the Arctic Monkeys and George Clinton as the band had previously been by records from Bo Diddley or Nick Lowe,
“That was the idea, not have a strict purist attitude towards the music, ‘Oh you can only do this or you can only do that,’” notes Walsh. “We didn’t think like that. It’s about expressing your love for these types of music, but not being reverential because you have to carve your own thing.”
Of course, put it to the band that this album marks a stellar leap forward from their debut and they look non-plussed. “We’ve grown up, musically,” says McClorey matter-of factly. “It’s just a progression. It’s like comparing what we were listening to when we were 12 and 13 to what we’re listening to now. It’s obviously going to be different.”
It’s different for sure, but it also gets right to the heart of what makes these four people such a great band. Get ready to meet the real Strypes.
