BASEMENT DREAMS
"There's a tingling in the stomach, hairs stand on end, the tension rises to the unimaginable when Eric Stripes opens the 3rd album Basement Dreams with the ballad End of Time, taking the listeners on a thrilling journey through fire, love, and revolution. The Berlin-born Scottish rock band First n Stripes presents a dreamlike masterpiece to the world. Eric Stripes and Roger McFirst showcase themselves livelier, more active, and faster than ever before. Eleven songs, eleven hits, and the finger jumps to the rewind button to let heavenly melodies swirl around the ears over and over again, facing the world out there once more with courage and strength." - Scottish Music Week 11/23

STREET OF MUD
"Street of Mud, the now 2nd studio album of the Berlin-born Scottish rock band First n Stripes, is a wonderful piece of art. Eric Stripes, the omnipresent frontman, delivers an outstanding vocal performance paired with strong yet delicate guitar playing. He sets the stage and invites us all on a mighty and entertaining journey to a land full of wonders and frivolous things. Reliably accompanied by the stunning drummer Roger McFirst, who plays his drums as if he had never done anything else, adorned with a dreamy bass and outstanding mastering that truly makes this album a magnum opus."" - Scottish Music Week 08/18

HOW TO RULE THEM ALL
"You can hear it, you can feel it. Yes, First n Stripes have released their long-awaited first album How to rule them all. The band is very mature and enriched with a beautiful bass. The songs are clean and a delight for the ears. This is truly a wonderful album, but it seems that First n Stripes have not yet reached their peak. We are excited about what is to come and meanwhile, we enjoy How to rule them all." - Scottish Music Week 04/15
