 Triple Drop
-------------------------------------------------
 
A dangerous energy, from where The Clash, The Specials and The Pogues left off, mixed with pumping back beats and dirty bass lines a la Soulwax and LCD Soundsystem, Triple Drop's live shows never fail to impress. An eclectic, dynamic band with great character they are straight to the point.

"There's a lot of subtlety about Triple Drop and their mix of punk, metal and ska.’In Your Smokey Little Room' opens with a dinky guitar riff and engaging vocals.’Extra Extra' gets more into fuzz-metal territory and pounds along, overflowing with a manic energy, a quirky Devo-esque feel and post-watershed words. It's brilliant and justifies its five minutes of your time. 'Radio' skates along as a frantic ska workout that’s more than merely infectious."

         - Jackie Hayden, chosen as Pick of The Fortnight, Hot Press Magazine.

"Strummer lives! It’s enough to make Terry Hall smile. Fecking good stuff. Thanks to the lads for writing some songs about this septic isle. Fuck the recession!"

          - Alan Corr, Feature writer/music columnist, RTÉ Guide.

“For those that miss the beautiful danceable aura of Ska music, Triple Drop embodies the heart and soul of the genre while adding their own modern twist. Judging by their debut EP, it will be this little Irish band that will have everybody skankin' in the streets again.”

Taking a page out of the DIY punk scene, they have a hard work ethic that leads them to relentless gigging and a set list crafted in bedrooms and rehearsal studios that ranges from punk to ska to dance and a hint of psychedelia.

Since forming in early 2009, they secured a residency in Eamonn Doran’s and went on to win Noise '09 Battle of the Bands, judged by Today FM DJ Paul McLoone, musician Catherine Dowling of Alphastates and music critic Chris Wasser. With no time to waste they spent the winnings transforming their live sound into their exciting debut single "In Your Smokey Little Room" and debut self titled EP recorded in Contact Studio.

The boys met in February 2009 and bonded like brothers. Since then they have played over 300 gigs around Ireland in Venues such as Whelans, The Village, Twisted Pepper, Crawdaddy, The Roisin Dubh in Galway, Knockanstockan Festival and played support to acts such as Aslan, The Frank and Walters, The Dirty Epics and Alphastates. Their self-titled Debut EP has done very well receiving airplay on RTE Radio 1, BBC Radio Foyle, Today FM, Cork's Red FM and Spin 103.8 FM among others.

Sean OB is a songwriter and musician with a voice and attitude that’s unmistakable. Displaying remarkable skills as a songwriter with poignant lyrics set to ferociously catchy rock ‘n’ roll melodies Sean writes with a hard-hitting no bullshit approach. If you go for quick and easy comparisons, previous connections to Jamie T and early Arctic Monkeys make a certain amount of sense, but that’s merely a snapshot. Anyone that’s done their homework will see beyond these clichés to hear Shane MacGowan’s snarl, Joe Strummer’s energy and John Lennon’s brutal honesty. Having spent his youth forming multiple bands and touring the U.K and Ireland, the multi-instrumentalist went back to the drawing board to try go it alone. Two years toiling over a plethora of demos recorded in a bedroom studio, it lead to the recording of his debut EP, produced by the grammy award-winning Rob Kirwan (Hozier/The Horrors). He is now gigging around Ireland and the U.K backed up by his explosive live band simply named Sean OB.
