Following the example of U2, The Script and The Cranberries, Ireland’s The Riptide Movement dish out the sort of rabble-rousing, blue-collar rock music that immediately sticks in your head.

Off the back of their album Getting Through, the band’s spent the last few years trekking across Europe, with appearances at major festivals in the UK, Ireland, Germany and Spain. Now, this October, Australia gets its turn.

The Riptide Movement play The Metro Theatre on Thursday October 29. Hit up metrotheatre.com.au for tickets.
