Strings & Things - Too Much to Ask (single)
Strings & Things are a four-piece neo-trad band based in Tipperary with one member in Galway who meld genres of rock, folk, pop, and trad to create their unique sound. They have been entertaining the audiences with energetic live performances, a huge repertoire of traditional music, and thoughtful, innovative original music. Their second album dubbed “The Unsolicited Dance” was released . The band is currently managed by Impact Promotions Ireland.
Their latest single Too Much To Ask starts with a delightful atmospheric intro and when the vocal joins in, the listener gets a reminder of an Irish storytelling, before the tempo speeds up and the track turns into energetic blend of styles. And something else. That something else makes this band exciting when performing live and no wonder they steadily keep gaining new following. The vocals in this case not only have power and resonance but the lead singer shows his range towards the end of the song and that catches the ear even of a non-musician as an impressive attribute.
