Strypes look back to the future with Beatles cover

Teen rock sensations The Strypes have looked to the Beatles' past glory to secure their future, as they release their debut single 'You Can't Do That' next week. The official launch sets sail from the Gonzo Theatre on Thursday, July 21 and will include the debut screening of a specially commissioned video by up and coming Cavan auteur Finn Keenan. For their debut release The Strypes have chosen a faithful homage to arguably the greatest group that ever breathed. You Can't Do That is Lennon/McCartney original from way on back. First released as the oft-overlooked b-side to Can't Buy Me Love in 1964 this beat-tastic slice of youth revolt has been given an updating worthy of any amount of teen frenzy. Inspired by Wilson Pickett, those in the know say the song has "a driving beat and an infectious guitar riff and the boys give it the full range of youthful exuberance and beat chic." Recorded in one frenetic afternoon session earlier this year at Beast Studios of Cavan under the watchful eye of production guru Jonno Leader (of Radioactive Grandma fame), the track was subsequently mastered at the world famous EMI facility Abbey Road. Yes that Abbey Road! The engineer for this part of the process, Alex Wharton, was indeed impressed enough to write them a personal congratulatory email praising them for the authenticity and quality of their sound. So judge for yourselves, get down to the Gonzo Theatre (upstairs in the Imperial), Main St, Cavan for hippest gig in town, Thursday, July 21 at 8pm and see what all the fuss is about.
