Fox'n'Firkin "Roppongi" self-released
Release date: 1 December 2013
Running time: 12:09, 4 tracks
“Roppongi” is the second EP released in 2013 by the band from Brisbane Fox’n’Firkin. Although the band was recently formed, bassist Max Vass and mandolin player Adrian Kay are not newcomers, since they had formerly played with Sled and Mutiny Bay. I have not said “sadly defunct” bands because I feel that there is a sound and attitude that links all of these bands. In other words, it could be said that Sled and Mutiny Bay are previous incarnations of Max and Adrian's project.
Obviously, Fox’n’Firkin "Roppongi" go one step forward and their Celtic punk rock kicks ass: four mandolin driven anthems, with excellent guitar work and amazing backing vocals. “Over This” is a little bit slower than the other numbers but quite enjoyable, “Roppongi” is an upbeat song with a ska part, “1788” is a Mutiny Bay meets Flatfoot 56 song and “Craddle to the Grave” is the main song on the EP. Remember that the band has recently released a video for this song.
Fox’n’Firkin “Roppongi” is an excellent addition to any Celtic punk collection: Australian folk punk with a pedigree.
Tracklist:
1 - Over This 3:11
2 - Roppongi 3:24
3 - 1788 2:03
4 - Craddle to the Grave 3:25
