Pop/Rock Band – The Script

The Script are a three piece pop/rock band from Ireland UK who have been knocking out one hit single after another and I am starting to become a fan. With hit songs such as “We Cry”, “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” and “Breakeven”, this Irish trio are topping the music charts across the globe. I reckon they are going to become a lot more popular over time and I tip them as one of the bands to watch in 2009. According to the biography on The Script over at Wikipedia, their influences come from the likes of Van Morrison, Timbaland, The Neptunes, The Police and U2. I can definitely hear “The Police” influence in a few of their songs and occasionally a bit of U2′s Bono.

The band members of The Script include Danny O’Donoghue (lead vocals and keyboard), Mark Sheehan (guitar and vocals) and Glen Power (drums and vocals) and they are all really talented musicians with excellent voices. The only CD available from them at time of writing is their debut album, aptly named “The Script”.

‘Breakeven’ – With Lyrics:

March 2009 will see them release their next single ‘Talk You Down’ which is destined to become another hit in my humble opinion after listening to the track on YouTube. They’re signed to the RCA label and in December 2008 were confirmed to be supporting Take That at their up-coming concert at Croke Park Stadium in Ireland in June 2009. I reckon this band is much better than Take That, again, my opinion, and likely to blow them away at that concert. I would pay for a ticket just to see The Script perform in that stadium and go home when Take That get on stage.
