Irish indie rockers The Plea have announced that they’ll be releasing their debut album ‘The Dreamer’s Stadium’ today, as the band step into the blur of the spotlight for the very first time.
The Plea are the product of growing up in the rustic splendour of Ballyliffin, Co Donegal which, according to singer/guitarist Denny Doherty, 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 the best anthemic songs this side of The Verve.
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 never came out. So, in 2009, disillusioned but far from defeated Denny and Dermot return to Ireland and the brothers Doherty soon set about recruiting childhood friend Paul Toland on bass and nicked drummer Gerry Strawbridge from another local band, setting about to make music with as much ambition and as little fuss as possible.
The Plea aren’t a work in progress, The Plea are the finished article. Over the years the band have slogged their guts out learning their craft and earning their spur’s. They’re the real deal. A bold statement indeed if there ever was one and will be backed up, with the release of the band’s debut album ‘Dreamer’s Stadium’. You can check out the LP here.
