I have always had a love for the Irish and this band has just
given one more reason to! My sister was lucky enough to go and see The Script
play in Aberdeen a few weeks ago and the main thing she raved about was there
supporting act, The Original Rude Boys. After she played me a few of their
tracks I took a look into them myself and boy am I a fan now! The Original Rudeboys are an Irish acoustic
hip hop band from Dublin, Ireland. They are notable for single Stars In My Eyes
which hit number 2 on iTunes and has received national airplay. They have
played such venues as The Olympia Theatre and have also played at festivals
such as Oxegen and the Reading and Leeds Festivals. The band consists of Luke
Manchini Sean "Neddy" Arkins (Rap Vocals), Robert Burch (Guitar and
Vocals) and Sean "Walshy" Walsh (Ukulele). The band's genre has been
described as a cross between hip hop and indie.
Like many young acts these days they started to gather there
fan base through uploading there music on to YouTube; according to the group they had no intention
of becoming a band but after seeing the views on their videos rise they decided
to take on the music industry. They uploaded Stars In My Eyes up first and the
amazing feedback from the song gave them their first single and lead to them
making a television appearance on The Saturday Night Show. Since then they have
had 3 sell out nights at Dublin’s academy 2, released their debut album This
Life and are currently touring with The Script not only in the UK but also in Australia.

I normally like to relate new bands to other current bands
to help you guys a little inkling to weather you will enjoy the band or not but
with these boys I can’t think of anyone to compare them to. They are indie with
a splash of hip-hop but while still keeping the soulful feeling of original song
writing. Not only are the boys talented song writers but they have a collection of beautiful vocals and are very talented
musicians
. So all I can say is give them a listen and decide for yourself what
you think; I personally love them and I am very excited to see what comes of
them. There album is beautiful and flows all the way through which I find you
don’t get any more with some albums where you can listen to it all the way
through without skipping a track. My favourite song on the album is Blue Eyes
and I will leave a link to it below but please check these guys out! If you
have any comments please leave away below.
