‘Soul’ is the second EP release from Manchester duo Hot Beat Repeat and follows their 2012 debut ‘Ease it Up’, which led to local and national recognition.

Described as producing a wall of sound, the band use an array of loop pedals and samplers to layer electronic synths and strings over indie-inspired drums and guitars in a live setting. Heavily-reverbed and harmonised vocals convey a haunting sound described by one review as a commercial Wu Lyf.

In keeping with their tongue-in-cheek name, Hot Beat Repeat’s music is largely pop-orientated, though each song is written to cover weighty topics from drug addiction in ‘Soul’ to oppression and social uprising in ‘Furore’.

Citing influences old and new, from Marvin Gaye and Paul McCartney to Tom Vek and Foals, the band have spent the best part of two years crafting their sound in their own Manchester Northern Quarter studio. Their recent live dates have seen them support Badly Drawn Boy, play the main stage of Manchester Festival and
win Band on the Wall’s new music competition.

‘Soul’ EP was recorded by the band and mixed by Phil Bulleyment (Delphic, Dutch Uncles) at Edwin Street Studios.

Trevor Hall and The Great In-Between. the new chapter. out now.

Founded in Omaha, Nebraska in 1993, Saddle Creek is an independent record label known for championing groundbreaking and influential artists across genres. The label operates with staff in Omaha, Asheville, Los Angeles, and New York City.

The Strypes are 4-piece rhythm and blues band hailing from Cavan, Ireland, formed in 2011 by Ross Farrelly (lead vocals/harmonica), Josh McClorey (lead guitar/vocals), Pete O'Hanlon (bass guitar/harmonica) and Evan Walsh (drums).

The group has spent the past 18 months launching their explosive R&B assault on the clubs and festivals of Ireland, the UK and Europe, viciously hammering out a no-nonsense blues repertoire drawing from the songbooks of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Slim Harpo and more with the passion and venom of British blues groups such as Dr. Feelgood, The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones and The Animals. 

Having already been met with critical acclaim from greats such as Jeff Beck and Paul Weller and been tipped by NME as the No. 1 new band to watch, it seems things can only get better for The Strypes.
