About this item

Whilst the visceral energy of their live performance has always been enough to attract a large crowd, The Isrights have come a long way since their days of making promoters sweat by packing out venues with rowdy, underage kids.

Now coming into their own as adept musicians, The Isrights have fully realised their own sound, following in the long tradition of fusing UK music with Jamaican sensibilities, resulting in a hybrid that's anything but formulaic.

With the solid foundation of Jack Hendrie's metronomic beat and Andy Gill's driving bass, Matt McNamara and the band's frontman Che Wilson are able to bounce off each other with a nuanced guitar style that adds a psychedelic element to the mixing pot.

Drawing from the world around them, the band paint a picture of what it's like to be young in these turbulent and uncertain times, with lyrics that look to bring back some sincerity to an increasingly cynical and shallow world.
