EP premiere: Meet The Strypes


Rhythm and blues band The Strypes are getting ready to paint America red.

They've already made a big impression in the U.K., and they hope to have the same success here. They release their Blue Collar Jane EP on Jan. 21 and will also be touring the U.S. with a stop at SXSW.

The Irish quartet, whose members are between 16 and 18 years old, find inspiration in '60s blues and '70s rock. Their rousing live performances have generated lots of buzz. Elton John and Dave Grohl are both fans, too.

Here's the full stream.
