Zuname/Drunken Fairy Tales "Saint Patrick's Punx Day" Split
Release date: 2011
Running time: 26:48 (10:53 + 15:55) 13 (5+8) tracks
Celtic punk is a global genre. We have seen how the scene has grown in countries such as Japan, Australia, Hungary, the Czech Republic or even Indonesia. And, obviously, a Celtic Punk scene is growing very fast in Russia, one of the biggest countries in the world.
"Saint Patric's Punx Day" is a split that gathers two bands from Moscow, Zuname and Drunken Fairy Tales. The listener is lucky: both bands have a different sound and they are sharing the Split for free.
Zuname is a 6 piece bagpipes punk band featuring banjo too. However, they have a small disadvantage: they are only sharing 5 tracks, while Drunken Fairy Tales are sharing 8. Perhaps the best tracks are the odd numbers. Song number 1 is a good punk song. I feel that track no. 3 is their best song, an excellent oi! number. And track no. 5 is a song which is slower than the others, but quite enjoyable.
IMHO, the tracks whose titles are in English are the weakest ones. "Reality" is a ska-punk song and "Hardcore Song" is .. just a hardcore song.
Drunken Fairy Tales have a classic Pogues/Flogging Molly line-up: guitar, bass, drums, tin whistle, accordion, banjo and fiddle. Their accordion sound moves between The Cherry Cokes and the German band The Waxie's and sometimes the tin whistle is influenced by The Rumjacks.
Normally, the songs are very short. All of them are quite interesting, but I like the last ones, since I find them more "Russian". My fave is track no. 10, but track no. 8 is very good too (even if I feel that they should have removed The Kesh Jig from it. Everybody associates that tune with Flogging Molly)
"Saint Patrick's Punx Day Split" is a good album, so go ahead and listen to the Celtic punk sound from Russia. At least I would like to hear more stuff from both bands and see how they sound evolve.
