Cruft begins in the quiet places where ideas breathe before they have names. A pulse, a texture, a strange harmony appears, then another and soon the room tilts toward something neither of us had planned. Some nights the music arrives in a rush as if it has been waiting. Other times it circles slowly, testing its shape until it chooses to step forward.

No path repeats. Guitars crack open the silence one moment, then dissolve into synth haze the next. Brass glints at the edges like distant signals. We follow clues more than rules and trust the sound to guide us further than intention ever could.

AI may offer a reflection in the glass - yet the movement, the drift and the sudden leaps belong to Cruft alone.

🎶 Expect the unexpected – the rest reveals itself only when you listen closely.

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.
