Donegal rock merchants The Plea continue to muster love and attention on the international circuit with the announcement that their debut album, The Dreamers Stadium, will be re-released internationally through Essential, rolling out around Europe and the rest of the world in 2013. The gang of four debuted their epic laden sound in 2010, when their first EP release Nothing But Trouble bagged a sound bed slot for an RTE TV campaign. They went on to release a collection of singles and the debut album in 2012, with the band and their music featuring on TV screens, radio shows and newspapers throughout Ireland. They bring the Irish album campaign to a head next month with the release of 'Staggers Anthem'. In true Plea fashion, the tune deserves to be heard as a massive chorus chant reverberating around a packed out stadium.
While battling the undercurrent in Ireland, the band have pegged their wares elsewhere across Europe and their unapologetic anthemic hooks have been garnering a steady stream of fans. In the UK, the band have picked up some great press with amazing reviews from a broad spectrum of press from Q to Metro, BBC Online to the Daily Star, and have been finding traction at the holy grail of radio, with plays from the likes of Graham Norton and Bob Harris on BBC and playlist slots on many rock shows and stations. Q made 'Oh Ah Yay' Track of the Week, noting the song could be played “to fireworks on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury”. We’ll take that one, thanks very much.
German fans and media are picking up on the 'Staggers Anthem' track in advance of the album release there. US college radio is all over 'Oh Ah Yay' like a minor league footballer at an Ann Summers Party in a convent in Essex.
Snow Patrol have welcomed their Northern neighbours to the stages of arenas in Dresden and Cologne and in the midst of European promotional tours, the band have begun writing their next long player.
The Plea are Denny Doherty (vocals, guitar, piano); Dermot Doherty (guitar); Paul Toland (bass); Gerry Strawbridge (drums).
