The first album from California-based Celtic Hip Hop band, Beltaine's Fire. Located somewhere in the hypothetical space between Rage Against the Machine and the Wolfe Tones, this is rebel music at it's finest.. This is a re-release after fixing some minor technical issues with the first version. The first version had 1,991 downloads before we took it down.
(Taken from the band's website)
There is a place where the rebel ballads of the Celtic bards, the storytelling of protest folk and the fury of revolutionary hip-hop music intersect. Beltaine’s Fire occupies that space. Their sound is both deeply rooted in tradition and history and completely original, combining ancient and modern in a bold fusion that Epitunes described as “that rare group that succeeds at combining seemingly disparate musical styles into an appealing new sound… unlike anything you’ve heard of before” and that Malcolm Carden of the Livermore Scottish Games described as “The new face of Celtic Music.”
Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Beltaine’s Fire is comprised of Lynx, drummer Cozy T, bassist/backup vocalist Laura, cellist/mandolin extraordinaire K8R, and John on a custom-modified electric banjo. The band has a uniquely eclectic style mixing the cadence of rap with traditional Celtic sounds. The end product combines melodies reminiscent of the Wolfetones and Flogging Molly with the revolutionary energy of bands like Public Enemy, The Coup, and Rage Against the Machine.
The group has played everything from family-oriented cultural events and festivals to college campuses, folk venues, live radio, night clubs, Irish Pubs, and hip-hop shows. They have performed alongside such Celtic luminaries as Solas, Tempest, Enter the Haggis, Vishten, and Molly’s Revenge. With an infectiously danceable live show and some of the most insightful socially conscious lyrics in the business, this is a band that can do just about anything and sound good doing it.
"The Weapon of the Future" is our first album, featuring Lynx on Vocals, Laura on Bass and backup vocals, John on Banjo, and Chris on Drums. All the tracks are radio & family-friendly. The album is copyrighted under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License, so once you’ve purchased it you’re free to share it with others for non-profit purposes. If you want to license a track for a for-profit purpose contact us and we’ll talk it over.
The album is available both as a download and CD. We are 100% independent and all the money goes to the band.
Special thank-you’s on this project go out to all of our fans, friends, & supporters, to Davin @ Polymorph studios and to all the folks at Expressions School for Digital Music for hooking us up with recording time, to our families / spouses / partners and loved ones, and to everyone who’s involved in movements to make the world a better place. Thank you for your love, support, and inspiration.
