Sean OB served his musical apprenticeship fronting the rabble-rousing Raglans who managed to infiltrate the Irish top 20. When things ultimately didn’t work out, the Tallaght tunesmith decided to go back to the drawing board. Fans of Joe Strummer and Jamie T will be grateful he did, as his solo tracks are feral, hook-filled blasts of misfit rock. Influential indie demi god Steve Lamacq is a huge fan, and after hearing the heroic ‘Get My Shit Together’ or the relentlessly catchy ‘Trouble’, you will be too.
