Sounds Like:

"Chunky, Ballsy... A little bit sinister... all delivered with admirable energy by a band it's easy to like" - BBC NI

"The electricity of Foals, the swagger of Arctic Monkeys and the shouty confidence of Bloc Party, Strait Laces have got it all. Three young whippersnappers from the windy North West Coast of Ireland bring the party every time." - Belfast Trans Festival

"Their live set has always been brilliant!... certainly know how to work the crowd" - GiggingNI.com

"The latest off the north coast's indie rock production line, Strait Laces follow in the footsteps of Ed Zealous and the Panama Kings by peddling pitch-perfect pop music with plenty of lyrical bite." - AU Magazine
