Album Review: The Strypes - Little Victories

Irish teenagers The Strypes have swagger to burn as they amp up their blues rock formula for this second album. While many artists struggle to follow up a successful debut, this four-piece make it look easy as they blast through proceedings with some wicked grooves and scorching guitars.

Sure, it's a little derivative and you won't hear anything you haven't heard before. But, who cares when tracks like Best Man, Get Into It and I Need To Be Your Only hit their big choruses, while the harmonica on Status Update is a neat touch. Expect big things.
