Follow Hot Press's journey through the year – or the latter half at least! – with The Strypes
We were waiting with baited breath. Then came the official word. The follow-up to the hugely successful Snapshot – which went to No.2 in Ireland and No.5 in the UK – was on the way. Could the hottest young four-piece on planet earth deliver again? The name sounded like a good omen: it was called Little Victories! On August 21, just two weeks before the band were slated for an Electric Picnic appearance, it hit the shops. Then things started to get really interesting...

THE STRYPES INTERVIEW
Much was made of their retro roots when they charged onto the scene but, as they enter their college years, The Strypes are better built than most to tackle the modern music industry. They tell us why they couldn't care less if people get it for free.

When the boys popped by our Chatroom at Electric Picnic a few weeks ago, they brought a present for us, all the way from Japan. It's basically ruined any chance we had of doing anything useful today
