"First One To Fall" is the second video offering from Sibin. The song is featured on their first studio album - Industrial Life - and is available in all the usual places like itunes.
Footage was shot by Sibin's Charles Hendy and Tim Williams and was filmed over a number of gigs at the Echuca Moama Celtic Festival 2013 and the Mildura New Year's Eve concert at Nowingi Place. The clip was edited by Tim who did an exceptional job and who is also writing this blurb which probably explains the accolades!
A little bit about the band. Sibin (pronounced "shibeen") has been around the blocks a few times - they're a bit like an axe that's had 3 new handles and 2 new heads but the current lineup has been together for the better part of 10 years. They sure aint The Pogues, Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys, but they like nothing more than belting out our own brand of Celtic Punk...or whatever it is they do!
Most of their tunes have an Australian angle to the Irish tradition of bashing out and crashing out a tune about whiskey, deportation, potatoes or love lost/left behind. Their new album - Industrial Life - has a few traditional Irish songs (Salonika, Drunken Sailor, Maids When You're Young) stowing away on a voyage to the colonies. The rest of the album is made up of original tunes - some loose autobiographical accounts about life within a band on the road and some accounts of historic events such as the Eureka Stockade etc.
"Run Johnny Run" is slap-bang in the middle of what they do... some of their stuff is bashier, crashier and a whole lot faster while other songs (like "Away" and "Ode to Ireland") are quieter moments of reflection.
So if you like a bit of tin whistle to wash down your banjo-pluckin while getting smacked in the head with a wall of electric guitar and drums, perhaps you might like their CD.
