Town Criers ::: Wake Up

With Town Criers going into hiding to write their debut album, they have however stated on their website to expect a “slightly” bigger sound from the album. With listening to this EP I cannot wait to get my hands on the album. Talk about a seriously rocking EP! Town Criers have gained one extra fan from there EP Wake Up.

This infectious rock band seriously know when to throw in the oul guitar riffs, with starting track Wake Up sounding like it gained some inspiration from Irish Band The Coronas, with lead vocalist Dermot Kelly sounding like Danny O Reilly with his crisp Irish voice.

With three songs following after Wake Up, it seems some songs like Wake up and my favourite one Imitation had the power to overshadow the other two songs with their guitar solos and a powerful lyrical performance. To Town Criers credit Wake up shows the lads split personalities showing that they can pull off a good solid rock song and then change to a slow mover (Something that many bands cannot pull off).

I now wait in anticipation for the news of the lad’s debut album which I’m sure is going to be not only a beautiful album, but an album that will inspire many other up and coming Irish
