Strangers are people you don’t know...Black Soul Strangers are the band you want to know....

Debut album from the Irish Pop Rock quartet, possessing a raw energy that few artists can convincingly convey.

Aptly named, due to its colourful tunes, enlivening quality and inspiring nature, Animate is both big in sound and stature. With tracks like The Haunting (“4 minutes of thrilling and bone tingling poetry” -Musicvice.com) and Lies (“Urgent pop infused head rush” Leedsmusicscene.net), Animate conveys a plethora of sounds and emotions ranging from the delicate to the immense, whilst incorporating everything from a crashing drum across a studio floor to a 50 strong choral harmony – not to mention, 10 tracks of outstanding quality.

As NME quite rightly put it, they are “a band who actually look and sound successful before their time...Strangers, eh? Not for much longer” - and with an unquestioning belief in themselves (and not to mention luck of the Irish), they might just be the breakthrough act of 2010.
