The Isrights

Real?

    Following up on the successes of their debut release, which paired the riotous ‘Drinking Game’ with the dubwise ‘Summer ‘05’, the youthful force of The Isrights return with another single.

    With their first festival appearance under their belts, taking to the same main stage Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry graced at Manchester’s Moovin Festival, the lads have been creating quite a buzz of late, which they’re looking to respond to with their latest single ‘Real?’.

    ‘Real?’ questions the spectacle of a world the band grew up in, full of illusion and false prophets, where simple lies beat complicated truths and hollow reality stars are idolised.

    Musically the band again draw from the UK / Jamaica melting pot but this time add to it echoes of a ‘60s pop sensibility and have experimented further with a plethora of sequencers and effects, no better heard than on the B-side with an instrumental version of ‘You Know’. A promising sign of things to come from the rising band.

    The Isrights

    Drinking Game / Summer '05

      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.
