New Artist: The Script

The Script aren't really that new, but for someone who doesn't listen to UK bands they may be unknown to people in the states. They were last year's biggest breakout band in the UK and Ireland and now have their sights set on the U.S.

Danny O'Donoghue (keys and vocals), Mark Sheehan (guitar), and Glen Power (drums) make up the Irish trio who boast a new brand of Celtic Soul -- blending hip hop lyrical flow with pop melodies, R&B production with anthemic rock dynamics, and classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives.

When The Script debuted in the UK in 2008, they sold more copies of their first album than any other debut group. Their single, "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" (see video below) took over the charts with top five slots in 13 different countries.

They already released their self-titled US debut album on March 17 and have an upcoming tour. You can catch the band on tour with Parachute on July 30. They will also be the opening act for Sir Paul McCartney at Citifield in NY. To get all the info you need about these guys check out their site TheScriptMusic.com
