johnclerkenwell Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Just read this on the Irish music blog I Swear I'm Not Paul, listed as one of the most anticipated Irish albums of 2011 - we could be onto something here!! "Brand new pop-rock act the Plea are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album. Lead single ‘Praise Be’ sounded just like the kind of stuff Bono should be making these days (vocally and all), and I’ve also had a chance to hear some of the other tracks from the record. It’s going to be a massive radio-friendly rock monster. The soundtrack of your summer? Most definitely." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber jbarnych Posted February 8, 2011 Subscriber Share Posted February 8, 2011 Listening to Praise Be now...love this song!! The singer does sound a bit like Bono, but not. If that makes any sense. Looking forward to hearing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahine Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I liked their page on facebook and then shared . All responses back so far are looking forward to getting their hands on the CD and the surfers love it. It begins.... I haven't even liked U2 on facebook I didn't wanna be one of 6 million or whatever. I don't use my facebook for that kinda stuff but I sure do like what I'm hearing enough to share it.

johnclerkenwell Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Listening to Praise Be now...love this song!! The singer does sound a bit like Bono, but not. If that makes any sense. Looking forward to hearing more! Totally get what you mean - his style is definitely a cross between Bono and Richard Ashcroft - does anyone remember Ian MacCulloch from Echo & The Bunnymen? He's in there too for me. Anyway, those three fantastic singers merged into one - what a vocal!! I'll be in the front row Who's with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber kerttuli Posted February 9, 2011 Subscriber Share Posted February 9, 2011 I think he sounds a bit like Bono - at the beginning almost like him, but after listening more, not that much any more...? Nice songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnclerkenwell Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Laptop fried its hard drive last week, been offline since then - gutted. Anyway, a bit of light relief - My new favourite band. Video looks like Anton Corbijn shot it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
