The Strypes started playing together roughly at the same time they learnt to walk, relentlessly gigging around Ireland and quickly becoming the hottest ticket in any town they happened to rock up to. They arrived like a tin can full of firecrackers on the UK music scene in 2012, blowing any other act you can name off the stage with their frenzied re-imagining of razor-sharp Feelgoods rock and snarling Rhythm and Blues. Their debut album Snapshot deserves to be filed next to other opening gambits by the likes of The Stones or The Yardbirds. What came next is a record that takes the raw power of Snapshot and uses it to fuel a ferocious 21st  century rock and roll hybrid influenced by The Arctic Monkeys and George Clinton. Their latest album Little Victories showcases rolling – almost heavy metal like – twin riffing, careering punk pop, Kinks-esque observations and deliciously sleazy swamp rock all whirring thrillingly away.
