Scustin: The Bray Boys Bringing the Funk
Scustin, the band that burst out of Bray like a pint of Guinness on a sunny day, are making waves that are as foamy and refreshing as a freshly poured glass of the black stuff. These lads are on a mission to bring the funk to the masses, and they’re doing it with a side order of pure Irish craic.
Imagine a heady mix of George Clinton, David Bowie, and a night out in your local, and you’ve got a rough idea of what Scustin sounds like. Their music is a bizarre, beautiful beast, a creature of the night that’s just as comfortable in a smoky pub as it is on a festival stage.
Hot Press has already given them the nod as one of Ireland’s hottest acts, and for good reason. Their debut single, “The Killer,” is a sonic rollercoaster that’ll have you dancing like nobody’s watching (even if they are). And if you’re lucky enough to catch them live, prepare to be transported to another dimension, where the beer flows freely and the good times never end.
With lyrics that could be straight out of a pub chat and a sound that’s as infectious as a bad cold, Scustin are the antidote to the same old same old. They’re proof that you don’t need fancy studios or a record label to make music that’s both fun and groundbreaking.
So, next time you’re looking for something to liven up your day, give Scustin a listen. You might just find yourself tapping your feet, nodding your head, and wondering why you haven’t discovered them sooner. These Bray boys are on a mission to conquer the world, one funky tune at a time.
