The Detonators - Sneakin' Around

Formed by singer-guitarist James O'Hara in 1992, this fiery band began attracting attention on the UK blues circuit, especially in the north of England. Blending blues with funk and swirling into the mix R&B from all strands of its spectrum, the Detonators soon built a reputation for exhilarating sets. Playing and singing with verve and skill, O'Hara effortlessly avoids the expected, finding new aspects and angles to his music while clearly respecting the great tradition of the blues. He has a gritty, unforced singing style that spans the whole of the Blues genre without having to strain for effect.
