Struck
Three cheers for lying
Angela Macari O’Looney
Struck are a young Pop/Punk trio who hail from Castlebar, Co. Mayo. Members are Sean Walsh-Vocals/Guitar, Dylan Chambers-Vocals/Bass and Ger Duffy-Drums/Backing vocals.
The lads have had a busy summer with the release of their debut E.P back in April. Three cheers for lying. They have shared stages with bands such as The Coronas, The Shower Scene, Zulu, Scuba Dice and Home Star Runner.
A distortion laden chord combination and a fast beat take you into All I wanted. This is an explosive number with a catchy chorus, a beat to wake you up and exciting guitar throughout.
Lots of changes in tempo and a dramatic chord riff add spice to this song. Sean’s delivery is packed with charisma.
Owe you One
This song involves a long instrumental intro, with the sound building up gradually. Guitars come in, bursting with energy. Dramatic beats and stop- start bits throughout add interest to this lively number. A superb lead riff is the highlight for me. Backing vocals are very effective behind Sean as he blasts out the chorus of this memorable track. There’s a slow down for the middle eight, which is sung by all three lads and then the delicious lead guitar riff returns, taking you back to the chorus.
Vibrant and upbeat, Struck definitely strike a chord for me. This is feel good music that never gets boring and would appeal to anyone who likes cheerful melody lines, excellent guitars and bashing beats.
I’ll be watching out for the three lads when they’re gigging in Dublin.
