Upon self-releasing their debut E.P in May 2013 they have recieve airplay on RTE Radio 1 (Cathal Murray and Late Date), on Today Fm (Paul McCloone), 2fm (Dave Fanning) and were chosen as Irish artist for the month of June on Galway Bay FM (Jon Richards) where the track 'Teenage Love Contention' is a regular.

Recorded in Sun Street Studio's Tuam, mastered by Fergal Davis (Sinead O'Connor, Muse, Josh Ritter) and named after a Samuel Beckett poem; 'Gnome' will be bands first full lenght offering. "Falling in the same vein as alt-rock duo Japandroids, Strange Boats make it very apparent that they have the ability to capture nostalgia and give it a modern sound, all without being too retro.." - Tori Olson - SOUND AND MOTION "They sound like the glorious hangover which would ensue if The Undertones, Weezer and The Saw Doctors went out on an almighty bender" - Galway Independent "The four-piece create a unique blend of harmonic rock-tinged tunes layered on a foundation of punk.." - Dwayne Woods - IRISH DAILY STAR CONTACT: strangeboats@gmail.com TWITTER: https://twitter.com/strangeboats YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/strangeboatsofficial SOUNDCLOUD: http://soundcloud.com/strangeboats ITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/ie/album/boys-walk-faster-than-girls/id561989802 ~ Debut Album "GNOME" Out September 6th 2013 ~ NOW STREAMING via - http://www.strangeboats.com BUY: https://itunes.apple.com/ie/album/gnome/id681383226
