Roughneck Irish rhythm and blues band The Strypes have confirmed their debut US EP, 'Blue Collar Jane,' coming out January 21st on Photo Finish Records. It features 3 hard-charging originals plus a ferocious version of Nick Lowe's "Heart Of The City." They've appeared on Jools Holland, been praised by NME and deemed "the most thrilling live band in the UK" by Q Magazine.

The Strypes made their official US introduction with a Rolling Stone video premiere recently. Watch them burn through their original song "Mystery Man", filmed at a recent hometown show in Dublin that sold out in minutes: http://shorefi.re/18fJyw5
