The Plea Set Release Date for Debut Single

Irish indie-rockers The Plea have announced that they will release new single ‘I am the Miracle’, backed with ‘Praise Be’, on April 11th through Planet Function.

The Plea's infectious sound is steeped in a rich musical texture of
swirling guitars and lavish drum beats and with the release of their
first single, the inspirational 'I Am The Miracle,' b/w 'Praise Be'
are about to take the band on an amazing voyage of discovery, as they
head into the dark, murky uncharted waters of rock 'n' roll, but not
after earning their spurs the hard way. You can see a video for the new single below, or you can download the single for free here.

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 our dynamic duo 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 in 2009, back in Ballyliffen, the brothers brought in drummer Gerry
Strawbridge and bassist Paul Toland, wrote a batch of new songs and
posted them on their MySpace page. 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
later this year, but in the meantime open your heart up to The Plea.
