New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) FADER premiered the remix of The Irrepressibles standout single "In This Shirt," crafted by Hercules & Love Affair. Premiering the track, Fader wrote, "The somber, orchestral original gets revamped with sparkling synths and marimbas, reminiscent of '90s Euro house. The vividly upbeat trance and techno elements, paired with Irrepressibles lead singer Jamie McDermott's mournful vocals, come together to create a track that is, in a word, irrepressible." Click

Led by creative director, conceptual artist, composer, lead vocalist and choreographer Jamie McDermott, the 10-piece performance orchestra has already earned comparisons to early
David Bowie, Kate Bush, Anthony & The Johnsons and even Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band. And onMirror Mirror, the band has created an unparalleled album that fuses European orchestration with pop melodies and soaring cathartic vocals. From the dramatic opener "My Friend Jo" to the galloping rhythms of "Anvil"; from the yearning echoes of "Forget The Past" through to the intensely intimate "In This Shirt", Mirror Mirror is a beautifully constructed sonic exploration depicting Jamie McDermott's confessional stories of love, anger, lust and loss with a journey through The Irrepressibles' mystical and theatrical world.
Over the last seven years, The Irrepressibles have pioneered a new frontier in pop performance. Using conceptual sets, and teams of artists in film, dance, avant-garde costume and make-up, the collective bring these songs to life through create extraordinary live spectacles. They have staged their inimitable displays all over Europe, including performances at the Hackney Empire, Roundhouse in London, a Roman amphitheatre in Barcelona, a 17th Century villa in Sicily, the infamous La Cigale in Paris, and played two shows at the
Victoria and Albert Museum in London to capacity crowds.
