Indie rockers The Plea will be releasing their debut single ‘Oh Ah Yay’ this April, a track which you can listen to by clicking here.
The Plea are the product of growing up in the rustic splendour of Ballyliffin, Co Donegal and according to singer/guitarist Denny Doherty, ‘Ballyliffin is the kind of place where “If someone’s born, there’s music. If someone dies, there’s music,” which might go some way to explaining their extraordinary ability to be able to craft epic and anthemic songs.
After years spent of chasing the dream by relocating to London playing the pub scene, they moved to Boston, where they worked as labourers by day and played the city’s bustling Irish pubs by night. They spent a year in Minnesota after an American major label funded an album recorded in a big budget studio, but it unfortunately never came out.
So in 2009, disillusioned but far from defeated, Denny and Dermot returned to Ireland and the brothers soon set about recruiting childhood friend Paul Toland on bass and pretty much stole drummer Gerry Strawbridge from another local band, and set about making music with as much ambition and as little fuss as possible.
The Plea are: Denny Doherty (Vocals, guitar, piano); Dermot Doherty (guitar); Paul Toland (bass); Gerry Strawbridge (Drums). You can check out the ‘Oh Ah Yay’ video below.
