The Poets play a melodic brand of rock occasionally crossing over into Punk and Americana. Their sound is often compared to bands like the Strokes, Snow Patrol and Wilco, but the Flea Market Poets are known best for powerful songs that support varied interpretations over time. Their music caters to an eclectic palate.
In 2007 the band caught the attention of Brit Award winning producer Pete Briquette (Bob Geldof, the Frames, Tricky) who then went on to produce their first single “Captain Nate”. Briquette in turn introduced Bob Geldof to the Poets and their music and he is now regarded as one of the band’s most high-profile fans.
The band released its debut album Dirty Days in April 2009 to critical acclaim. Rolling Stone calls it “…”
Hot Press (Ireland) describes it as: “superbly textured stadium rock” (Dirty Days), “classy indie country” (Annie Superstar) and “sleek speed-punk” (Black Heart).
The band is currently touring the album in Europe. Dirty Days is available in stores in Germany, on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de, and on iTunes all other major download sites.
