By Johnny Firecloud

Crave caught up with rockin’ Irish quartet The Strypes at this year’s SXSW music marathon, in the run-up to the release of the band’s new album Snapshot. Produced by Chris Thomas, who produced the Sex Pistols, Paul McCartney and served as an engineer on The Beatles’ White Album, the record has just been released in the US and represents a live-session snapshot of the band doing what they do best.

In our exclusive interview, The Strypes sit down to discuss their new album, their upcoming U.S. tour and their first experience at SXSW as they took in the sights and played their hearts out across a dizzying number of stages.

Pick up the new album Snapshot at the band's official site, and keep up with The Strypes on Facebook and Twitter.
