The Lagan "Work Away" EP
Release date: 2011
Running time: 11:19, 3 tracks
The Lagan is a 7 piece band hailing from London, UK: guitar, ukelele, tin whistle, fiddle, bass, drums and trumpet. They define their music as "beer-soaked Celtic folk/punk/ska!" and their tracks have already been included in both Paddyrock and Shite'n'Onions podcasts
It's a little bit difficult to review this EP, since it has only three tracks and all of them are different. But, as it has been previously said, they have already made it clear, they play "beer-soaked Celtic folk/punk/ska"
The opening track, "Work Away" is a catchy Celtic punk number.
The next song, "Sunny Day in Southie" moves between Brit Pop and Dexy's Midnight Runners. A good song, with good fiddle and tin whistle arrangements
The last track, "Guinnes & Chips", is a ska number. I feel that this song is not as interesting as the previous ones.
Right now, The Lagan are working hard in order to be the opening band for Flogging Molly at The Garage in London next June 29th. I'm looking forward to listening to more songs from this band and see how their sound evolves.
Track List:
1 - Work Away 3:55
2 - Sunny Day in Southie 4:20
3 - Guinness & Chips 3:00
