The Plea

The Plea have spent the past few months causing waves across the festival circuit with their infectious sound of swirling guitars and lavish beats. The are now set to release the new single which captures their raw energy in one powerful sound bite. ‘The Odyssey’ is set to take the band on a voyage into the uncharted waters of rock ‘n’ roll and make this band a household name.

The Plea are the brothers Doherty; Denny and Dermot from the small town of Ballyliffen, County Donegal who plied their trade busking on the streets of London, before moving to Boston, where by day they worked on building sites and by night played the city’s bustling, Irish pub circuit. They spent a year in Minnesota after an American major label funded an album recorded in a big budget studio, but it never saw the light of day.

So, relentless in their pursuit, the brothers returned to Ballyliffen and brought in drummer Gerry Strawbridge and bassist Paul Toland. Together they wrote a batch of new songs and began to put the word out. Interest from labels was immediate, but one offer in particular intrigued them. The founders of legendary, Belgian, dance label R&S Records were so impressed by the songs and after lengthy discussions on Skype they signed the band and became their first ever rock signing.

The band have just finished recording their debut album with Chris Potter (The Verve, The Rolling Stones, U2) which will be released in the new year but in the meantime they are set to play a string of dates and have played  Temple House Festival, Sligo, OXEGEN, and Glasgowbury!
