Sticky Fingers (AU)
Music illuminates even the darkest moments. Just when you need it the most, a song lets in a sliver of light. It doesn’t matter how dark it gets out there, we’ve got Sticky Fingers. Theirs is an underdog story already worthy of a tell-all memoir or old school Behind The Music. The quintet—Dylan Frost [lead vocals, guitar], Paddy Cornwall [bass, vocals], Seamus Coyle [lead guitar], Beaker “Beaks” Best [drums, percussion], and Freddy Crabs [keys, synth]—accomplished the seemingly impossible as a wholly independent act since just 2008. Their earthquaking hybrid of rock, alternative, reggae, and psychedelic burns brighter than ever on their 2022 fifth full-length offering. Four albums deep by 2020, the friendship still fuels everything. They introduced themselves on their 2013 full-length debut, Caress Your Soul. When it comes to the sound, Dylan deems it, “Erotica-pyscho-tropica…sex, pugs, and rock ‘n’ roll!”. “We’ve always had the ideology, if it feels good to us, it’s going to make someone else feel good as well,” states Paddy. With the release of Lekkerboy in 2022, Sticky Fingers welcome everyone to join them. “We’re going to write songs and tell stories about feeling low, getting high, and everything in between,” Paddy says.
